Donut Porn


Everybody loves sprinkles. I know I do.

Mmmmm...Everybody loves doughnuts. Don't they? I sure do. I used to go to Winchell's Donuts after school to buy a dozen doughnuts for MYSELF. In heaven, I think you can eat all the donuts you want, and you won't get diabetes. Remember when the quality of an ice cream parlor seemed to be based on the sheer variety of flavors available? Why go to Baskin-Robbins, with a mere 31 flavors, when you can go to Bresler's 33 Flavors? Well, Donut Shoppes around the country are figuring out the importance of options. Voodoo Donuts and Dynamo Donut & Coffee are two examples of Donuteries that explore the untapped potential of the All-American Donut.

Look at those prices! What a bargain!

In today's economy, where prices on everything have skyrocketed, the lowly doughnut has held fast. Doughnuts are as cheap as ever. I would argue that on a penny-for-penny basis, a fresh doughnut is a better deal than a Snicker's Bar™ or Cadbury Flake™ (two of my favorites). 

Similarly, as a writer and novelist, I try to offer the same sort of bargain. My short story DONUT DOES IT, available now for purchase on Amazon Kindle, is also a bargain at 99 cents. It's 3,300 words. The perfect length to read on your eReader device at your local Donut Shoppe with a cup of coffee, or a glass of milk. 

$0.99 at Amazon
DONUT DOES IT will fill you up. Just like a good doughnut. Or two. Or three. Or four or...





Only 99¢
