My current passion (compulsion) is short-story writing.  While I was spending most of my life writing white papers, courseware, marketing materials, and three non-fiction books, I was also compiling a mountainous list of “Stories to Write Someday.”  That day began October 1, 2010, and it won’t stop! Amazingly, several of my stories have already been published by literary magazines, and some have even won prizes.  It’s very gratifying to me when others enjoy reading what I have so enjoyed writing.  I’m including the already-published short stories here, in case you also like fiction in small doses.
