Online Stories
An author’s website should be more than just an advertisement; it should be an opportunity for dialogue between writer and reader and a place to share in a way that conventional publications do not allow. The stories in the section are published only online, and most were written in the late 1990s, during a time when I was producing a lot of short fiction. Let me know what you think (use the "Contact the Author" link on the left or post a message in the Guestbook). If enough readers enjoy reading these stories, I might add more. —Charlie Lovett
