At any given time I am working on a number of writing projects. If I hit a wall with one, I move to another for a while. This results in a lot of my stories being written in pieces that eventually come together to give me a clear picture of the story. The excitement of crafting an important element of the story inspires me to focus and finish the first complete draft.

The ideas for my stories are sparked at different times in a variety of ways. But the direction of the stories often come together during my early morning, sunrise beach walks. The busy world we live in offers a lot to observe, but it is in the quiet moments that I am usually able to gain a vision of the story I want to write.

The short stories in this collection are the product of my experiences and observations, woven together with a little imagination. I hope the reader recognizes a bit of themselves in the characters, and finds a common truth in these stories.
