Publisher's Synopsis
'Some places were better than others, but maybe we were not so good in them.' - a dereliction of a Hemingway preface to the "49 Short Stories" "Standing on Top of the World" reflects various, original writing styles or "voices" for short stories by the author whose "writing voice(s)" hinge on practiced, non-fiction experience(s) written in present tense, fictional styles. Engaging a reader word by word and line by line through immediacy of short storied experiences of the author both in Portland, ME, "from away" or else concoctions of the author's imaginations to hone "muses" results in a book of original short stories genres from a practiced writer.
