All good stories are journeys, either literally, from one place to another, or metaphorically, from shallower to deeper knowledge or understanding. These ten stories take the reader on an emotional and intellectual journey as well. For a story to be realistic, the writer must create reality with the strength of his imagination. These stories are all very real.

Short Stories & Anthologies

Something for the Journey stunningly outlines the tension between the human yearning to be free and the yearning for home. These polar impulses define and motivate the characters with such clarity, we cannot help wishing they will somehow arrive at, depart for, or stay nestled in the bosom of whatever it is they need to keep them whole. It is as though the residents of Winesburg, Ohio, had picked up, separately, and moved to the northern California coast, there to be haunted, no matter where subsequent travels may take them, by something they cannot quite remember. This is a beautifully written and moving collection of stories.
