Lovers of short fiction stories will enjoy the 17 in "short stories by a short guy in shorts." I'm better at 1000 to 8000 words than trying to construct ten or twenty times that. In my stories, you'll get the essence quicker with the motivation to find out what's next. Next, I am a short guy. Gravity is winning. Finally, I dread summer and its accompanying requirement to wear fewer clothes. Shorts are my anathema. When I wrote the subtitle, "musings, meanderings and mindfulness (sort of)," it was a clue to where my stories veer off the blacktop onto bumpy rutted roads.
So, clues to what's within those 17: 1. Hire a professional for home projects. 2. Spend time with your kid and avoid "that" neighbor. 3. Bacon. 4. Drive, keeping your eyes on the road. 5. Be careful who you confide in. 6. Don't you just love to spend time at the deli counter? 7. You can't always have what you want but you'll get what you need. 8. Things to do with bones. 9. You won't just hurt your back picking up a penny. 10. Sweet dreams often aren't. 11. Not everyone wants to be told what to do. 12. Loves labor lost. 13. All the reasons to avoid Black Friday. 14. Why would anyone ask a question like that? 15. A good guy goes up. 16. A good guy goes down. 17. Don't wait for someone to die.
My book is suitable from Y/A on up. While there's no descriptive sex, some stories required "the word." You'd be surprised what kids know and hear. Many of my stories are from true life events allowing me to fictionalize them and add my creative dialogue. I won't reveal which ones actually happened--you'll figure them out.
