Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a collection of essays, short stories, and flash fiction written over a four-year period in various styles and for various purposes. In the section "Stories from the Writers Bloc" you'll find many flash fiction pieces written under the gun on a variety of topics. You might see some of the early inspiration for my first published novel here. In the section "Stories from SnoValley Writes!" you'll find a selection of writings inspired by prompts and meetings with my local writers and novelists, as well as stories written to celebrate our various public festivals and readings. Several of these stories have been separately published in other books. The last section, "Other Stories and Essays," is a grab-bag of stories and essays written for various contests or just for the fun of it.
