I find that genre is most accepting of my short story skills. Initially, I planned to write only one collection of short stories but quickly found that the stories were coming rapidly. Consequently, I authored a second book. Now all of them, plus others, are incorporated into my Bizarre Stories book. My inspiration is derived from various everyday experiences and situations, as well as from my childhood television viewing. I was especially inspired by Alfred Hitchcock and The Twilight Zone. In my writing, I focus on conveying thoughts and concepts rather than incorporating detailed imagery. To me, that is what separates creepy from horror. At times, I deliberately omit certain details, preferring to allow the reader's imagination to complete the picture. Writing short stories helps me continue working while taking breaks between writing novels.
