Inhaltsangabe

The short stories in my collection cover a wide range of subjects. There are a few which are related, thus listed as Parts I, II, and III. These are continuations of the characters and/or subjects. Some stories are just for fun, comedy. I have long been an admirer of O'Henry's use of irony or a "twist" at the end, so some of these stories follow that style. Reading a short story is like watching a television program, either a half hour or an hour. "Where's Jenny?" is a modern take on the play OUR TOWN by Thornton Wilder, set in the 1960's.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

I'm not a fatalist, not a survivalist in the strictest sense, nor a pessimist. I do, however, believe in being prepared for possibilities. If I could afford to do so, I would have done exactly what the characters in the first book of this series did for their family. It doesn't mean that you stop living today or don't plan for a "normal" future for you and your family. What it means is that you recognize that Mother Nature and the universe are not controlled by man, that anything can happen to this planet at any time. The Boy Scout motto of "Be Prepared" has been largely forgotten.
