The Other Side of Me

Anthology of Short Stories - The Other Side of Me is a collection of short stories (anthology means collection). I got into publishing short stories while I was submitting jokes and skits to Reader’s Digest magazines. I made good money as a comic and stories seemed just as easy. There are a ton of magazines that publish short stories and short story anthologies so I tried it and it was just as lucrative. Now, publishing short stories for money is one thing and having fun doing it is another while keeping in mind that it is all about the reader enjoying your writing and not about making money. Money is the effect of good writing and not the cause. My short story submission began slowly and built to a crescendo. Today my anthology short stories submissions are greater than my comic submissions. I most certainly hope I live up to your expectations as a writer. My short story collection encompasses many years of writing and are ideas and imaginations of mine that I just couldn’t turn into a book; hence a short story! Some of the stories I can actually remember where I was and what triggered the story line. Others I just can’t remember why I wrote it. Take the first selection, “A Simple Little Test” for example. At the time I was treating a very nice lady who had just been traumatized in a relationship of betrayal and deception. Actually this patient inspired not only the aforementioned short story but also my book, “Too Late For Fruit; Too Soon For Flowers. The stories are moving and they have defined meanings. Enjoy!
