Ten Short Stories: By Nine Authors

Ten Short Stories is an anthology of ten stories, each with conflict, risk, or surprise in the plot. In one story, an amateur palm reader agrees to read his girlfriend’s father’s palm and discovers that the man, in his past, had committed two grave crimes and was about to commit a third. In another story, Eddie Smith admits to his part in a bomb scare at his high school, but the evidence tells a different story. In a third, a divorced man meets a woman through the matchmaker classifieds and is tricked in a restaurant. And in a fourth story, gathered around the Thanksgiving Day table, a family begins to eat when the three youngest members, each in turn, reveal startling plans that will change everyone’s lives.
