Tales From The Westside

Mr. Loverde proposed Tales as a weekly humor column to run in a newspaper or magazine. Syndication would be cool, too. He had no takers, however. So he decided to publish the column himself, electronically.

Happily, Mr. Loverde has dipped into the material he developed for Tales for use in his other writing projects, so it wasn't wasted effort.

Over forty-five "issues" of Tales From The Westside were circulated from 1996 through mid-1997 and sporadically thereafter. The subscriber list eventually numbered over 100, with versions sent out via e-mail and fax. Thirty-eight of those are published here -- many with new material! (The remaining Tales featured installments of Star Trek: The Most Important Voyage -- which is also published here.)
