I haven’t decided whether or not I’ll be watching Franklin & Bash on a regular basis. I do try to give the latest legal dramas and comedies a chance, and this one is a rare summer legal comedy. It stars Mark-Paul Gosselaar, who I remember fondly from the old Saved By the Bell...

I'm really excited to have had this story published on Imitation Fruit, the e-zine, this month. Thanks, by the way, to Diana Blackwell for the chair artwork accompanying the story.
