I’ve always enjoyed learning how authors create the stories they publish, and I’m not alone. It’s no surprise that the most popular question authors hear is, “Where do you get your ideas?”
To answer that question in my own way, I’ve added extra content here on the blog as a bonus for my readers.
Elements contains 21 short stories — 14 reprints and 7 new to the collection.
