Welcome to the scribbler's library, a quiet corner where you can read books you won't find in your local library.
Allow me to explain.
I am a scribbler, a writer of stories, and though I have many published books, I also have many that haven't been published for one reason or another. But we writers are a vain lot, and as much as we like writing stories, we also like them to be read. So I've decided to share some of those unpublished and out of print published stories here on my website.
Enjoy! And please let me know what you think.
For the Romantics
Here is a short story for the romantics out there. I wrote it in 1999, and it actually has been published -- twice! Once in Storyteller Magazine for which I'd written it as a contest entry, and then again in 2012 in Escape, an anthology of Island writing.
Waltzing Annie Home isn't a children's story. It is the memory of an old woman revisiting her youth. Like several of my stories, I had the title before I had the story. Perhaps that's not the best method of writing a story, but I have had considerable success with it.
Anyway, enjoy.
Read Waltzing Annie Home.
