Posting the recent short story, Red Space, reminded me that I have fragments of stories and half-finished books all over the scattered contents of some 30-plus years of writing, I wonder if it might be worthwhile to place these in a collection, or to develop them into full-blown novellas… especially when contrasted against the non-fiction books I also would like to write.
If you have a preference let me know.
My short stories remain mostly unpublished and have a considerably wider range of concepts, styles and approach than what regular readers might be used to.
If I had to guess which writer I probably remind one most of, in the short stories, I would not know, although I am aware that there is a generic sense of either the numinous or the metaphysical or a slight… reverberation of things beyond the merely physical, that I am most aware was present in the writings of Philip K. Dick. Although our styles are quite different, I think, at heart, our underlying premises concerning the more rarefied aspects of our fiction writing, are probably closer than most would guess.
And from beyond the veil, I think Philip agrees with me.
