Available Fall of 2014 from Start Media.
Below are short stories that are going to be packaged into an anthology called When the Mirror Breaks because they are mostly about people suffering “bad luck” after doing bad things. Following each title is the word count and a short description. And yes, that is a pseudonym.

Where are your fotos?
put the mouse pointer over “fotos” but don’t click. wait for menu to drop, then click on the categories.
I so agree with the no photoshop aspect. I love to take pictures and prefer to have my work judged by what I took, not how I edited it. If a picture can’t stand on its own, is it really good enough. 🙂
yup. that’s what i feel too. thanks for reading.

thanks miss. just getting started. appreciate the kind words.
Did you delete your short story “The Book”? I really liked that one!
It’s removed because it’s in a collection of 13 stories soon available in paperback. Thanks very much for enjoying it.
Congrats!
thanks very much. are you getting into the olympics?
I love to and usually do; however, from what I am reading it is not so great this time, especially being in Russia. Should I be?
i love the winter olympics. not a big fan of the summer games. but i’m a hockey player and love skating and snow in general.
I am more of a gymnastics, diving, and volleyball person. I watch the skating and skiing, but not the track stuff.
After your question earlier, I did go and look up the first 2 days’ highlights. I am proud of our people.
