Used Cookie Sheets: Very Short Stories
My first book, Used Cookie Sheets, is now available for purchase. It’s a thrill to be able to hold forty-five of my published stories bound together in a single book. I hope you’ll join me in celebrating.
Twelve years ago, my friend Robin Steinweg decided to form a small writer’s group and she invited me to join. We named our group Friends of the Pen. I began to write short stories and poetry and would submit at least one story or poem a month for the other members to read and critique. Sometimes I’d submit a handful or more.
Now, more than a decade has passed. Each one of us has moved from unpublished to published. If you like, check out our author pages on Amazon:
In Used Cookie Sheets you’ll peek into the minds and hearts of memorable characters. You’ll travel with these new friends from farm to library café to Nepal and back to their own
neighborhoods.
You’ll witness:
- A brother who gives his sister the birthday gift of another year of life
- The empowering effect of a dad’s nap on his daughter
- A wife fleeing home with her three daughters
- A boy whose great misfortune is a last name beginning with Z
- The impact of an unkept promise
- A widow’s life repurposed
- The domino effect of deception by omission
What reviewers say
From Bobbi Jean: My favorite story was “The Kiss.” I giggled for a good five minutes.
From Tracie: A few of my favorite stories are “The Interrogation Consistency,” “A Stay with Joyce,” and “The Recuperation.” The first story was surprising and humorous, the second heartwarming, and the last was hopeful and encouraging.
From Hally: Writing short, meaningful stories with such an economical use of words is an art! Lori landed it!
