Author has written 28 stories for Nature, Family, General, Life, Love, and Religion. Hello fellow poets/writers/readers, I just went through a MAJOR overhaul, removing approximately 200 short stories and poems from this website. Why? It's simple, really. I want you to have access to the best: the cream of the crop, if you will. Here are what I believe to be the best of my collection thus far. If you'd like to agree or strongly disagree, please review. Complement or criticize - review! Analyze or compromise - you guessed it; review! I will be adding, deleting, and editing frequently. So stay tuned. Much thanks, | |||||
