After years of writing scientific and engineering reports, sometimes as long as long novels, I find short stories to be an enjoyment and a challenge. When writing a short story, every word counts, mainly because there just aren’t a lot of words to set the scene and deliver the punch line. When I'm not writing, I enjoy designing and creating works of leaded glass.
My short stories have appeared in Yarnspinner & Wordweavers Newsletter, The Fiction Flyer, Apollo’s Lyre Writers and Readers eZine, Flash Tales Magazine, Coffee Cramp Magazine, Flashshot eZine, Quiction on Line, and The Muse Marquee.
I'm a Tri- Studio author, Moderator of the MuseItUp Club, member of Publishers and Writers of San Diego and Zoetrope Virtual Studio. My short romantic story, Music Lovers, received a top ten award in the 2006 Preditors & Editors Readers Poll. My poem, The Ship, and my flash fiction story, A Strange Feeling, each received a top ten award in the 2005 Preditors & Editors Readers Poll. I co-edit and contribute articles and stories to The Fiction Flyer Magazine, which received a top ten award in the 2006 Preditors & Editors Readers Poll. My micro-flash story, My Bigger Toe, will be in the 2007 edition of the Binnacle's International Collection of flash fiction.
I have two collections of short stories available for readers, Flashes in the Pan, Fifty Short Stories for the Impatient, and Don't be Impatient...Read a Short Story! Visit http://www.tri-studio.com for information on my books, short stories, poems, and leaded glass designs.
