Collected Short Stories of Thomas C. Stone consists of ten short stories. The choice of topics takes the reader across raging seas, up untamed rivers, through the wilds of modern dating and marriage, and sometimes like a fly on the wall eavesdropping on higher powers. Collected Short Stories also contains "Remember The Alamo," a tale about the adolescent discovery of injustice.Stone is generally known for his long fiction -- sci-fi novels of futuristic adventure. This collection of stories, however, is not science fiction, although there are one or two that push the boundaries. Most of the stories deal with adult themes. Indie Author Thomas C. Stone developed a fascination for science fiction early in life, reading most of the modern-day masters by fourteen years of age. As a student, Stone studied writing, classical literature, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science, obtaining degrees in linguistics, literature, education, and computer science. To support his writing, Stone has worked as a school teacher, technical writer, systems analyst, martial arts instructor, and various other odd jobs. Today, Stone writes both mainstream fiction and science fiction. Additionally, Stone has completed twenty novels and, by his own admission, is more interested in the depiction of characters under stressful and extraordinary settings.
