Since there was no forum where writers of short stories could read their works, two years ago, under the auspices of the California Writers Club, Mt. Diablo Branch, I started such a group. We meet monthly simply to read, listen and enjoy. With so much good material, it was natural that at some point we publish our work so a broader audience could also enjoy it. Our first two volumes are available on Amazon.
