Welcome to the Web home of
award-winning short story
writer Wayne C. Long!
For less than the price of a cup of convenience store coffee, you can enjoy a jewel of subscription short fiction from one of America’s rising talents of the short story form.
Wayne’s unique e-mail short stories arrive directly at your work or home e-mail address. Your annual 30 story subscription to LongShortStories.com promises you an exciting new short story in PDF format every 12 days.
A born storyteller, the author gives his enthusiastic adult short story readers tremendous value for their twelve dollar (U.S.) annual subscription. Over the course of a subscription year, you will delight in a literary roller coaster ride of 30 short stories, ranging in length from flash fiction gems containing as few as 100 words, to more traditional short story lengths of 1000 to 2000 words.
Imagine! For only forty cents a story, your e-mail in-box will deliver imaginative short fiction that adults can easily read on the commuter train, while waiting at the airport, or during a well-deserved break at work. Laptop, desktop, BlackBerry or iPhone. Wherever you find the Internet!
Just what are these LongShortStories?
Crossing all fiction genres, Wayne’s miniature masterpieces are hybrids of literary fiction, flash fiction, romance, fantasy, and military stories. They will embed your head in an eclectic world of the psychological: heartfelt coming-of-age tales; heartless revenge; quirks of fortune; rare glimpses into the foggy worlds of ancient and modern warriors; darkly humorous stories; even sci-fi, probing unseen environments, starring fantastic beings of indeterminate gender. The stuff of dreams … and, yes … more than a few nightmares!
Wayne’s Blog gives his readers a chance to weigh in on their favorites as time goes on. Wayne’s goal is to create a sense of global community for adult readers and writers of short fiction.
In the Web land of www.LongShortStories.com, you drive this creative writing engine! Your suggestions for future stories are always welcome.
A word about “housekeeping.”
These stories are copyrighted and cannot be re-sold, translated or re-issued without the author’s express written permission. All rights are reserved. As a tip of the hat to his loyal paying adult readership, Wayne will allow a subscriber to share a story with other adult readers in their immediate household, provided those secondary adult readers do not continue to forward them. Wayne, like you, abhors marketers who turn around and sell, rent or share their subscribers’ names. His wordsmith promise is … he will not. Fair enough?
