A note from the author:
I am of a time when people would say, “You want to hear a story?”
More often than not the answer was “Sure”; to a friend that you thought you heard everything from or a stranger on the barstool next to you. Story tellers and listeners are who we were then.
It is harder now to commit the required time for listening. Sitting in a bar today until someone who looks interesting shows up lacks the promise it used to have. Listeners are hard to come by in this age of quickly consumed information in the print and pictures of other media.
Most of my stories still come to me by way of characters who crowd their way into my imagination and won’t move on until I give them a place on empty pages. I try to keep the short stories brief, no more than about one pint of a good dark beer in length. Some take less time to get through and are up for a second reading.
My books are authored and illustrated under the names, S. Webster and Sandy Webster. They are available at Amazon under these names or the titles.
