Short Stories

Stories published in full

This section is for short stories. Unlike the novels and novellas, these pieces appear here in their complete form. They are not openings or extracts, but finished works that stand on their own from the first line to the last.

I have always liked the short story for what it asks of both writer and reader: not less care, just less room. A good short story does not need long to get where it is going.
