Potpourri of Tales
Heart-warming tales about life, love, hope, and new beginnings!
A roundup of soul-stirring glimpses that my mind's eye sees in the form of short fiction. As the characters spring off the page, I hope you find at least one tale that resonates with you. Enjoy!
Notes:
- One short story (or more, if time and circumstances permit) a month.
- Each piece stands individually, so you don’t need to read the book chronologically.

Story 1 - Christmas Rollercoaster:
Instead of dreaming about ambition and riches, Nate had dreamed about a family—a family that he was going to leave in tatters once ALS ran its course.
Story 2 - Shining Through His Broken Pieces:
After a difficult start, a young man tentatively begins to live in the light—rather than continue to hide in the shadows. But can he ever risk opening his heart, even for someone special?
Story 3 - Learning to Live:
Gregg Miller likes his life just the way it is, thank you very much. A steady job working at a law firm, a beautiful girlfriend, time to go out with his friends; he has everything a man could want. And yet…
He begins to ponder where his life is going, just as it is forced in a new direction. With the sudden appearance of the son he hadn’t even known existed, Gregg is thrust into a new role that he never expected to play: a father. And though Gregg likes his routine, the predictability, and stability of it all, he begins to realize that life doesn’t always follow a defined path — and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Story 4 - ILY:
For so long, everyone thought Hailey was deaf when, in reality, she just doesn't like talking and learned sign language at a young age. She never corrected anyone until someone confessed their love for her, thinking she couldn't hear them.
Story 5: Coming soon. Stay tuned!
