The short stories that I write carry a word count typically of 2500 words or less. Some may be a little longer; many are a lot less. The true short story is, well, short by nature. That’s what gives them their unique power and magic!

“Long short stories” or Novellas, on the other hand, weigh in in the tens of thousands of words. They are Novellas, or short novels by definition, after all.

LongShortStories is my writing brand, composed of my last name and what I write for a living.

So, for those of you who came to this Web site looking for the best in state-of-the-art short stories and flash fiction, you have come to the right place!
