Assorted Shorts

As the name implies, Assorted Shorts is a collection of five assorted short stories. They range from futuristic to whimsical.

These stories span my writing life. And while each one has a special place in my affections, they’re not of my usual full-length “Love Story novel” variety.

And. Although Assorted Shorts refuse to be Love Stories, two of them do share characters with Love Story novels:
~ Fleesor Justice is set in my futuristic Love Story universe … as a side-note to the actual series, which begins with Transport Tales, Volume 1: Novan (futuristic love story in space).
~ And Rohan’s Touch provides a sort of “sideways-glance” at a Love Story in my more contemporary— not yet published — Perfect Mates collection (retro-setting love stories).

Here are the mini-blurb descriptions:
