about me

Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by.

My book of short stories is a varied one, written from the standpoint of someone who has experienced the issues discussed in them firsthand. 'Sharing Short Stories' is what I am basing my novel (now in the making) on. Writing these short stories has become my pastime. Using some of them as the basis for my novel, they have also become invaluable tools.

Please have a look at these short stories and let me know what you think of them.


Cheers!
Cynthia

Sharing Short Stories

Cynthia Cordell

These short stories come from the heart...


These short stories root for the underdog. They touch on the challenges in life and find themselves to be resolved with a happy ending. My two personal favorites are "Karen Sylvester" and "Maven." The newest titles are "Harrington" and "Cloud Computing." Overall, "Wonder Mom" is about role models. "Sandra the Sleuth" is about internet crime. " Eden" is about the appreciation for beauty. "Andrew and Sherry" is about triumph over depression. "Karen Sylvester" is about materialism. "Into Marissa's Life" is a take on fashion. "Prison Rules" is about renewed lives. "Lola's Wedding" captures a beautiful wedding. "Maven" is a look at young love. "Sense of Familiarity" is about the sense of belonging. "Delving Closer" looks at an engaged couple. "Harrington" and "Could Computing" touch on the subject of computers.

Chapter 1 gives an index of all the short stories.

ENJOY

Hi Ruth, This is just beautifully written, I almost wanted to cry with you when your mom left your dad. By the way, I also love your cover for the book. I also like that each chapter starts off with a 'telling-title.' The prose is charming and witty, none of what you were conveying was worded ... view book

Hi DM, Excellent first chapter under this new revision of yours. Sorry it took me a while to get to it, just been busy. The original first chapter seemed more hard-hitting as far as your trek to go see Blossom for the delicious Sunday meal. This version is more refined though and adds a 'pleasan... view book

Hi Neville, This is a beautifully written book. The images are vivid and the characters alive with unique personalities. It makes one want to sit by the fire and read it all the way through!!! Tommy's handicap gave him painful memories of not having had the opportunity to play with the other k... view book

Hi DM, I read chapters 1-3 of Inside Dead. It's very engaging. You speak of the physical punishment from school mostly and I felt for your central character. I imagine that because of his troubled childhood, he (as an adult), grew up with a lot of respect for the younger children coming up. H... view book

Hi Barb, What a wonderful look at British ingenuity through the ages. The story of Mr. Bridges is but the tip of the iceberg. This is like a complete exposure to the inventions and ground-breaking discoveries that were introduced and uncovered during 18th Century England. It's a rich telling o... view book
