Stories from my head

Welcome to my little corner of the net where I have posted the short stories that I have written for everyone’s enjoyment (i hope)

Writer’s Workshop

I have to give credit for this effort at creating a website not only for my stories but for writing them in the first place to the Indian Valley Public Library Writer’s Workshop. We are a loose group of aspiring, and accomplished (published), writer’s that get together once a month (nominally) and share what we are working on with each other. Constructive comments are provided, which at times can be brutal.

Unfortunately most of my friends and family are not that interested in reading amateur fiction, so I don’t get much feedback there. This group, however, has encouraged me to keep writing. And I like it.
