Charles Thiesen Charles Thiesen is a writer based in Boston, Massachusetts, a novelist and short story writer specializing in flash fiction, short-short stories that you can enjoy, say, in your short-short Smart Car on your Blackberry while stuck between long-long traffic lights. Born in Brooklyn, Charles now resides in the leafy 02125 neighborhood of the Dot. A rabid locavore, Charles home schools roughly 100 tomato plants in a fearsome structure of his own design that the neighbors have dubbed the Temple o' Tomatoes. A cat person, his familiar is named Chat Cousteau for his attraction to all bodies of water and the fish that they may harbor. By day, Charles is a crack technical writer. Super-secret, hi-tech, hush-hush stuff. So don't even ask. But he's a gun for hire and will travel. Paris preferably, Rome, Madrid maybe, London, Athens always,.  Index of works at Roofscape Magazine Paris Sketches January 1, 2009 Charles's short stories regularly appear in the Urban Myths section of the magazine. This is his first work of non-fiction that we've published, a stroll around and appreciation of Paris, sketchbook in hand. I Did Not Hear Voice in the Air June 16, 2009 Charles Thiesen joins us again with a new short story, an unsettling monologue that reads like Samuel Beckett ghosting for Stephen King, or maybe Stephen King channelling Samuel Becket. Frankie June 5, 2009 Then, one time in the summer, when I was working in my father's grocery store, this girl I liked came in. She lived right around the corner. Her name was Frankie. A new story of summertime tannning, awakening and daydreaming. Strip Club, 1952 June 1, 2009 This is an enjoyable example of the genre of flash fiction, short-short stories that can be read, say, in the time between stops on the El. This, in fact, is set in Harry's Strip City under the El in New York.  Contact Email charles@cthiesen.net Website http://charlesthiesen.net Gather http://cthiesen.gather.com   Image ...
