Well I’ve finally assembled all of the stories for my next book of short stories into one document for editing.

The selection is divided into Stories Lived that retain elements of memoir and Stories Learned which, although based on real events, are fictional. In Aqua is entirely fictional and based on events beyond the tangible world.
