I start most of my work in between my lectures. I find that when I sit at home and try to write anything on my Mac that I tend to just freeze up creatively and sit around typing fairly pathetic sentences that lead very quickly to nowhere. I find that I finish at home, though. I've no idea why this is so, but it is.

These stories arise from random thoughts—ideas that spring to mind in the course of a conversation, in the reading of a book, life. You get the idea. As always, I've included a few details about the writing process in the Author's Notes.

Note! Please be aware that some of the stories contain mature subject matter and/or language. I have marked those stories that might offend delicate sensibilities.
