Meet Some of the Characters

My first Flash Fiction collection, You Never Know, will be available on March 7 both as a print book and an ebook. Each story elicits an emotional response and leaves the reader with something to think about. I had fun writing these stories, and I think you’ll enjoy reading them. Would you like to meet some of the characters you’ll encounter? Okay, since you asked.

Janeesha is a young lady who has to make a career decision. Molly loved her husband, Freddy, through thirty-one years of failure. The clown always wanted to be an accountant. Sam, the Golden Retriever, who was the loyalest friend a man ever had. George had a nickname for everyone: those he liked as well as those he didn’t. Samantha was a violinist whose family didn’t show up for her concert.

These and many other characters fill the stories with pain, joy, sorrow, and surprise.

New Book Coming This Weekend

You Never Know is my response to Writers Digest’s annual month-long challenge to write a piece of flash fiction every day for a month, and is my initial entry into the world of writing fiction.

A collection of thirty-one flash fiction short stories, each one is a thought-provoking snapshot that captures a different aspect of what it means to be human and elicits a wide range of emotional responses. By the way, flash fiction stories are typically no longer than 1,500 words and may be as short as the now-famous six-word stories, allegedly started by Ernest Hemingway.

You Never Know will be available on Friday March 7.
