The Mirror, and a Familiar Blue is a collection of seventeen short stories I have written. While letting my fourth novel's first draft 'cool in the drawer', I mentioned to my wife I was reading a book of short stories. I told her I used to write short stories. She asked me why I didn't write them now. I told her I wasn't sure. I simply migrated away from writing them as I focused on novels. I told her I had several stories written. A couple had been published but that was a lifetime ago. She asked me why I didn't put them together and publish them as a book of short stories. The more I thought about her suggestion the more I liked the idea. So - here is my book of short stories. They are varied in subject matters. One thing they all have in common is they are all born through my observations of everyday life. At the end of each short story I have included a short explanation of what inspired the story. Here is a peak into each of the short stories: Locker Key and a Picture Can a locker Key and a picture explain why he laid down in front of a moving train?
