While I am plugging my wares, I thought I'd bring attention to my collection of realistic short stories. They are a little dark, but a good collection nonetheless, including a few stories published on line and in literary magazines, plus a few brand new original ones. It's available at smashwords.com and amazon.com

Here is a quick description:
A collection of short stories that explore the darker corners of human nature. Dark, desperate people making the best of difficult situations, doing everything in their power to try and find hope in the hopelessness of their existence. Features the following:
The Ballad of Bob O'Connor: The 'Very Man,' who spends his days talking to paint cans and frightening his co-workers.
Hanging Up: One boy who wants nothing more than to connect with the girl he loves, though his own nature, and one glo-stick, gets in the way.
Hands Free: When a gruesome accident caused my distracted driving is the least of your worries, you know your life needs changing.
Upstairs: Is it Rear Window or something far more sinister going on in the apartment upstairs?
The Faculty Picnic Has Been Cancelled: And when a shooting spree breaks out at a Middle School, perhaps a lot more than that will be cancelled as well.
Falling: When you are in a mental hospital, how can you tell the difference between what is happening in front of you and what happens at Owl Creek Bridge.
The Real Thing: Can it truly exist in a world like this?
Seven short stories. Seven desperate men. Is there one happy ending among them?
