Short Reads 1

By A. Nation

Short Stories related and not related to my novels.
The Hounds Howled shows the relationship between my protagonist in The Takers and his old schoolmate, Frank Wolf. The Mirror is a bridge between my fantasy and the sci-fi novels, which are 300 years apart.
The Balloon Ride and An Easter Tale are takeoffs with my urban fantasy characters. The Hobnobby’s Story is a deeper explanation of my character in Where Did They Go?
The Healing Stone is an expanded version from a prompt I did in writing class.
The Library and the Castle in the Pond have nothing to do with my novels—yet.

A. Nation

I have always enjoyed reading science fiction and mysteries because I am interested in future science and puzzle solving. I write about stories of the future that mimic today's social issues. Issues such as greed, retribution, prejudice, political corruption, and what the future could become are some of the concepts I use to illustrate a moral result.What motivates me? A story I may read in the newspaper, political idiocy, a situation that happened in history, or just anything that I can twist the perspective around. I travel the west with my husband and read about the small towns of the USA as we drive through them.
