Download or read book Short Rounds: An Eclectic Collection of Stories, Poems and a Short Memoir written by Richard H. Nilsen and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Five Easy Pieces was already taken as a title, I guess Short Rounds will have to do. Also, it seems appropriate that, as of this writing, I have five published books in print. These five short stories can serve as a complementary addendum to those five books. I also include a short ñspiritual memoirî titled Faith Came Easy and two previously unpublished poems. I will try to let the short fiction speak for itself, but I should add that it is as eclectic as I can make it. There is mystery, science fiction, scene portraiture and even an attempt at horror. So here goes. Some quick reads and, I hope, interesting pieces. They pretty much all stand alone, except possibly ñInside Out, î which utilizes the main character from my Adirondack Mystery series, Hallum Johnson. The other stories are all orphans in character and the fact that this is the first time they have seen the light of day in publication.
