I get inspirations for my stories in some odd places and at some strange times. I wrote one of these stories after a shower one morning as I was putting on my clothes and drying my hair. Some of the stories are rewrites of old ones, but most of them are new. In this collection I have tried to avoid cute or self-promoting stories, some of which polluted my earlier efforts. There's nothing heroic, nothing cute here. At least that was my goal. If you like bite-sized reads, I think you will like these stories. You can read the book at a sitting or a story or two at a time. Take the book to bed with you and read a couple of these little tales before the Sandman gets there. Pleasant dreams.
