Here's Where We Get Off

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

He's the author of seven books and has published over 300 stories and poems in journals in the U.S., England, Italy, and New Zealand. His work also appears in Best Micro Fiction 2024 and Best Micro Fiction 2025. Guy received a B.A. in political science and philosophy from University of Redlands, and an M.A. from San Francisco State where his teaching career began. 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.
