A diverse selection of short stories in various genres, written during the last twenty-five years. They range in length from a few hundred to nine thousand or more words. Some of the larger stories are parts of trilogies, though each part can be read as a complete story. One of these trilogies is a series of cliffhangers. This section also includes lyrics and poems I’ve composed over the past forty-odd years.
