Author
Jon Sindell
Jon Sindell writes fiction in San Francisco and reads his work publicly throughout the Bay Area. He is a personal tutor in English and history, he was a dot-com editor and lawyer. The author of the baseball (and more) novel The Mighty Roman cried at six when the Dodgers blew the pennant, found strength on the mound at the age of eleven, rashly quit the baseball team at fifteen, and was reborn as a ballplayer in his thirties. He lives with his wife and near fledglings, and spends non-writing time hiking the Northern California coast, hugging redwoods, growing greens, and watching way too much baseball. He encourages readers to connect with him at Jon Sindell Fiction – where lots of his fiction may be viewed -- or on Facebook.

The Petting Zoo
It’s weird when you’re eleven and run into your teacher at Walgreen’s or Target. It’s even weirder when you walk into your dad’s place and find her in the bathroom in your dad’s old robe, the way I did last week. "Oops, Sorry " I pulled the door shut.
