Summary:Jeff is a sports-writer in his late twenties living in a town in Connecticut which seems to have been transported straight out of the fifties. The underlying prejudices and feelings of hostility towards the idea of "new things" and "new people" are engrained in his memory from boyhood. Yet as he matures as an adult he comes to see the evils inherent. This story is about two characters evolving into decent human beings, about the intrinsic differences between right and wrong, and the concept of loss. Intertwined is my attempt at satire. I hope you enjoy it.Chapters: |

More of a character sketch than anything else that just nagged at me until it was written down. Don't you love it when characters do that? And isn't it fitting that this character, out of all of them, would nag particularly well?Chapters: |

Summary:"Mrs. Brown's Cat" is my first story, written in the 1970's. It is characteristic of my beginning writing skills--or lack of them. Several months ago, I edited the story, taking out a third of it, mostly in the beginning, during Kevins first trip into the past. I don't know if it would fly in today's market. Make suggestion if you think it would, and where to send it. Chapters: |
