A to Z Stories of Life and Death

The twenty-six A to Z stories, based on the twenty-six letters of the alphabet, cover a wide spectrum. The focus is on a crucial juncture when a character's life changes, for the better or worse, because of a choice or decision.

The stories also question our moral compass: how do you judge a teacher toying with the sexuality of her teenaged student? A boy who decides to murder his mother? What thoughts rage inside a pedophile serial killer before he shoots himself?

Some of the characters in the stories confront death, others talk about life with its quirks and whimsies. Each voice, ranging in age from a six-year-old to a centenarian, has its own riveting story to tell. Together, this collection of stories at over 12000 words attempts to prove that when it comes to stories, depth can sometimes replace length and breadth.
