So I figured it’s high time I joined this tribe, since short stories are one of my favorite genres. That, coupled with the fact that it tends to be my favorite form when writing should have clued me in earlier.

I’ve been writing for just under two years and feel I’ve come a long way in that time. For those of you interested, there are a couple dozen short stories as well as a short one act comedy, several vignettes (or short shorts) and some poetry on the Blog. They are posted chronologically in order so if you’d like to see the progression, just go all the way back to the last page and work forward. My subject matter and style is all over the map, so if a particular piece doesn’t strike your fancy, something else might. I always enjoy feedback and suggestions, so please feel free to do so either in a message or in the comment section.

I’m also an avid reader who loves reading short stories and it will be nice to have a place to discuss the reads. I adore Angela Carter, Paul and Jane Bowles, Somerset Maugham, Bradbury, Mrabet, Finney, McKenna, Dahl, Poe and dozens of others who write in this form. My latest find is Collier, which I describe as a Brit. in Brooklyn concerning his slugging verbiage.

So anyway hello everybody, my name is Steve and I’m a short-story-aholic.
