FREE BOOK FOR YOU

Grab a FREE copy of my first short story anthology: Distant Rumors, 10 acclaimed stories, each with a different style but all compelling and with interesting characters.

For example: The First and Final Thing about a wealthy man who gave away his fortune when he was diagnosed as terminal, with less than six months to live. The story starts after 6 months, when he is not only alive but totally healthy. This one is an homage to Hemingway. ��Other stories include:

The Cat Lived: A marriage seen from the perspective of a dying cat.

The Hollow Sky: Robert Yamato lives in Japanshu, an industrial, cubicle-based society where life is strictly controlled. The problem is that Robert has fallen in love.

Just a Little Death: A former pupil of a prestigious boarding school returns as the new housemaster, only to face a crisis from his past.

One Moment in the Sun: Three college friends ponder their lives along the Venice Boardwalk, as Arnold Schwarzenegger cements his career. Over the span of a life, many things change. These are our moments in the sun.

Fire on a Different Mountain: A young couple in New Mexico must face their tragedy with a difficult decision.

Words With Sharp Edges: An estranged son must write his father's eulogy and come to terms with his own life.

The Delegate From Mars: When a man from Mars comes to talk at the United Nations, the world learns the truth about what's up there and why it could mean a death for Earth.

Ceremonial: When the law dictates euthanasia at age 50, one man struggles to ccept his fate.

After the Leaves: In a post-apocalyptic world, one family must cling to hope in order to survive.

A Limited Point of View: In the future, you are only as valued as your position within the company you work for. Where you live, your friends, and your income are all tied to your office level in the building. And that is based on a system of ascension. Grandy is close to the top, but a few obstacles remain in his path.
