Short stories have gained a degree of popularity lately. Perhaps, it’s due to the hectic pace many people live today.
When traveling to and from work on a bus or metro, the short work of fiction sometimes is just the right ticket.
Themes for my stories range from travel stories, personal drama, and humor. A number of the works have been published in the The Story Teller, a publication of the Society of Southwestern Authors, and included in the
Moonlight Mesa anthology, Award-Winning Tales. The Washington Golf Monthly published a light nostalgic piece
of humor of mine.
Desert Sleuths, the Arizona Chapter of Sisters in Crime published my short stories, in its anthologies, So West: Desert Justice 2012 and So West: Lady Killers in 2019. His work appeared in The Thrill List, an Anthology of Crime Reads 2016.
A two-time winner at the Cave Creek, Arizona Film and Arts Festival, I received the first place Coyote trophy award
for Burial Sites for Sale. It’s a story about a modern Arizona ranch family dealing with the demands and temptations
of modern life.
