Here's Where We Get Off (Paperback or Softback)

Here's Where We Get Off is a collection of tiny stories that, at first, may seem to be about ordinary people in everyday situations, salted with cats and pelicans. A couple in a driverless cab. A widow in a high-rise apartment. A boy waiting in a car. With quick wit and gentle pokes, the author surprises us. A misread mood ring. Talking lawn chairs. Chanting mascots. Guy Biederman is an observer who sees and shares what others might miss, and the result is magical.

- Louella Lester, author of Glass Bricks

A husband, father, grandfather, brother, pick-up basketball player, and Dudeist Priest, Guy is a former peace corps volunteer and college writing instructor. He lives part-time on a Sausalito houseboat with his wife where they walk the planks daily, an adobe casa in El Paso, a cabin in New Mexico, and on the road in between. It's all true, especially the fiction.
