In the short stories, The Crazy Jug, The Pink Victorian Lady, Frogs, Gnomes, Hikers and Bottle Miners, The Conjurer, and The Rescue, Gert Carver and Nina Westacott meet an eclectic variety of characters as they trade-off collectibles and old bottles at flea markets and solve gentle mysteries involving neighbors, relatives, past students, farmers and hicks in and around the upstate New York community of Indian Falls.

The following is a quote from a past review in the New York Times Sunday Review of books: "In the wake of 9/11 (and the terror attacks that have followed; e.g. Aurora...

Resonance and Other Short Stories
Stories... Stories of primal urges, stories of love, of hatred, of ironies and justices. This collection has stories for every reader's tastes. Delightful, suspenseful, introspective and sometimes frightening prose for lovers of the well-crafted tale. Our first stories are recount tales of deadly demise. The opening story, "Resonance" by James Paducci, summons up the urges of a primal and violent past as a simple meal of pork chops transforms a doting husband into a ravenous beast. The next story, K. Memmel's "Beta Group," confronts fears of a different variety, a grown man's phobia over all manner of dolls. In this story, ethics and phobias clash, and the titan of phobia prevails. A. H. Mit...
The Fear Beast and Other Short Stories
We are pleased to bring our readers another collection of fresh new short stories from emerging authors. The tales in this volume draw from diverse literary streams. These fantasies, memoirs and reflections offer a buffet for short story lovers.

Anyone who has walked the cold lonely path of divorce will find themselves walking along with Cindy Karnitz as she traverses a dark roadside ditch in "The Walk." It's a story of emotional traum...
How Communities Build Stronger Schools
If it takes a village to raise a child, Anne Wescott Dodd and Jean L. Konzal feel that it takes a community to make a school. Not content with the idea of a school being contained within four walls and existing only for a few hours every day, Dodd and Konzal know that a school which looks after the complete child exists far beyond its four walls and for the whole 24 hours in each day. They present a radical democratic vision of the public school where everyone not just students, teachers and parents plays a part in shaping our children and, consequently, our future.
Regrets and Other Short Stories
People read for all kinds of reasons, and this collection has something for everyone! This splendid collection begins with Alex H. Mittelman's tale of poetic justice in "Blueberry Tea for Burglars." Readers will experience mixed emotions as an affable bad-guy gets an extreme dose of the crime that he so freely dishes out to others. James Fox's "The Hidden Trail" features justice of another kind as a bullied and marginalized youth is vindicated-and eventually admired-by his status-conscious pre-teen peers. The story of male alienation ages a little in "Addicted" as Joshua Lane relates a tragic tale about a young man who watches his own personality and behavior degrade under the influence of a...
