Short Story Fiction
Series

There are times when I feel my stories need to be broken down into short "chapters". There are other times when I'll write multiple short stories around the same main character. I've listed those stories under this section I call Series.

Cub Reporter Stories

Scott is a new “Cub” reporter for a small town paper.
These stories are based on his various assignments. I've interjected some humor into some of these stories. All are fiction. Some are based on fact.

The Stepping Stone

Deep in the Oregon wilderness, a hidden staircase rises from the forest floor—seventeen ancient steps leading to the unknown.

When a young man, a professor, and his student from a nearby university investigate, they uncover a stunning secret: a working portal to another world.

Concerned over national security issues, one of the three notifies the NSA but before they can act, the other two are compelled by someone on the other side to step through.

On the other side, they find a society eerily similar to their own—only here, darkness has been disguised as light, and true freedom has been hidden from the masses.

Convinced to return and recruit the one person who holds the key to liberation, the travelers slip back through the portal. They return just as the NSA secures the site. The portal is slammed shut behind them and the truth is now revealed. Things are not as they seem.

Caught between two powerful factions, trapped by lies and half-truths, they must choose their allies carefully.

One mistake could doom them to permanent exile in a tightly controlled future.

The right move will lead them back home—but even then, the NSA is waiting.

Survival hangs in the balance and decisions must be made.
