Book of Diverse Writings: Volume I

The author’s first crime mystery story "Hidden, A Crime Mystery" has the suspense and twists one would expect of such theme. Ding dong, someone is dead… ding dong, the author won’t tell… dong, dong, but not for long…! The size of a novella, and the longest story in this volume, it can be read in around thirty minutes or a bit more, the reason why there could be no hints, no spoilers. Sixteen other stories follow with single or mixed genres each: action, adventure, family, fantasy, light romance and Sci-Fi. Too many different plots to read – all with surprise endings. As opposed to Hidden, the featured crime mystery, the rest of the fictional tales can be read in close to three minutes each.

Two personal anecdotes deal with real life thrilling experiences, with a touch of dry humor and drama. The nine essays are also varied, from honor and pride to inspirational and motivational themes; from personal views on life or careers, to philosophical renderings. The book ends with seven trivia, single paragraph one-minute stories based on a famous first opening line.

In this book, one story may not fit all tastes, but one personal taste will definitely find a preferred theme or many more in the following subjects: abductions, astronauts, drones, hole punch clouds, magical, mystical; pirates, tall tales, etcetera. May the readers – young to adult - enjoy this potpourri of themes on plane or train commutes; in reception rooms; in between house chores; at night, or at any other preferred time.
