Short Stories and Articles
Apart from writing books, I've written some articles,
essays and short stories for publication. Following on are some extracts
of these you might like to browse through. For the complete works
you'll have to search libraries or bookshops for the original publication
otherwise I'll be in trouble for doing editors and publishers out
of the just rewards for their hard work.
