Welcome to Tales By Tom. This is the Seventh installment of Tom Cagley Sr's short story collections entitled, “Hold It A Minute . . . I Want To Tell You Something.”   

Today we feature two stories

Story 13. Egypt seemed closer. About the time of all the upheaval in Egypt in 2011, we traveled to Salzburg. It’s odd that during a dinner we should meet a couple who’d come from Cairo to Salzburg on their honeymoon. And I listened…

Story 14. Beyond Abortion’s Silence. I read an article in the Baton Rouge Advocate and asked the author if I could quote some of it in a story I was writing. “Go for it,” was his enthusiastic answer. “The more people who know about this, the better we will all be.” 

I encourage you to provide feedback on these stories or any of the earlier shorts by email at [email protected] or by voicemail at 1 206 339 5456.
