STOLEN pen
book STORIES
I was six years old when I had my first epiphany - new books were still being written! I remember what an exciting revelation it was that not all the world's books were finished and on the shelves. Hard on the heels of that came the desire to write my own. In the ensuing years the desire has come and gone and come and gone and come again. Sometimes when the muse was here, I put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard. Taking advantage of the WWW's nature as vanity press, I offer some results. TOPICS

I call them Stolen Stories because they were inspired by the old stories - fairy tales and fables, myths and folklore, allegories taught by ancient wisdom groups, stories from the Brothers Grimm and Br'ers Rabbit and Bear. I love them. I read them. I look for the common threads in them. And I rewrite 'em.

But I don't just copy them. The results are (I hope, I hope, I hope) new stories, my stories. Just some parts are. . . well. . . stolen.
