Short Story Collections

As the title suggests... this book is a collection of stories about choices. Sometimes we have our eyes wide open and can clearly see the result of the choice we are about to make. At other times the path into the future is murky and where a choice may lead is uncertain and perhaps frightening. It may be a seemingly unimportant choice that completely changes your life, a major choice that circumstances thrusts upon you, or something in between... the only certainty is that life is a series of choices….

Sit back, relax, and enjoy this collection of stories. When you have turned the last page, put the book aside and consider the choices you have made....

Short Stories of Reflection About Folks Trying to Just Get Along

I am a writer. Such a bold statement deserves some clarification... I don’t claim to be the next rising star in the literary heavens, nor do I claim to be a prophet providing life changing insights. However, I believe these stories inspired by my past and present dreams, illusions and delusions will provide entertainment for most readers and, perhaps, some thoughtful introspection about similar personal experiences.

The central theme of these stories is something everyone can relate to... just trying to get along... usually in the finding, keeping or losing of someone to love. As you enjoy these stories, keep in mind the old Beatles song... “It Don’t Come Easy”...
