HOMEGROWN

I've not yet figured out exactly what in literary terms a short story is supposed to accomplish except to say it should do so with far fewer words than a novel. My collection herein does not attempt to break unbroken ground or to achieve any other high-level goals. They're just stories that happen to be short some shorter than others. Maybe some are well-written; maybe none of them is. But a book of Homegrown short stories will have a happier ending during a soak in a hot bath than a smartphone accidentally dropped into that hot bath. And I promise you this: No ads will ever pop up in the middle of any of these stories. So open these pages open your minds suspend disbelief and enjoy an all-around good read without the digital distractions.
