Fiction Writing
In addition to a long list of published articles and interviews
in the world of non-fiction, a fair amount of short fiction was
published in the small press in the 1980s and 1990s.

In April 2011, a novel-length manuscript with the Jack Larson
detective character -- originally written in the mid-1990s and
recently updated -- was self-published as a Kindle e-book
(for use on Kindles and other devices that can "read" Kindle
e-publications, such as the iPad). Go to www.amazon.com;
search Kindle Store for "Bill Cissna" or "A Simple Murder."
In June, the tale was added to the library for the Barnes &
Noble Nook. In either place, cost is $1.99. The paperback
version is on Amazon.com for $11.99. Includes a bonus full Jack Larson short story.

My novel about growing up in the 60s-70s-80s, "Fictionography of a Mental Coward," is
also now available on Kindle and Nook for $2.99. A paperback version was recently added
at Amazon for $12.99.
