The Write Word Fiction Samples

This page used to house a number of my published short stories, but because most of those were published in a collection in late May of last year, along with many new stories, I’ve just left the one below, a sordid tale of guilt, shame (and shoplifting).

You can also download for free Flowering, the title story of my collection.

All That Glitters
Winner of the National Steinbeck Center’s 1999 Short Story Contest.

Here’s the cover of Flowering and Other Stories, my short story collection, published through Author Mike Ink. The link goes to Amazon, but it’s also available at Barnes and Noble.

Here’s the cover of my novel, recently published as an ebook on Amazon.
