Shared: Short Stories By Ben Steinlage Writing has been a passion since I was eight. To say I've written a lot might be considered an understatement. Yet, this particular book has brought me bushels of pleasure. Not particularly the stories/story lines or that it's in print (this makes my twentieth book in print). What's got me excited is in both the writing and sharing these stories on line. Unlike rest of my books, I rarely get to meet, let alone talk to my readers. With the sharing I've been doing, readers have made a number of comments as time went by. So what is in this particular book? Well, most of my stories deal (as with most of my work) with the interaction of characters. The setting's if these stories range from the past to the present and the future. There are a few based on fantasy, to personal memories, as well as a few mysteries, and science fiction. Hopefully, you will find times a smile will come to you and other times a tear may appear. Along with these two examples, I feel it's safe to say; you'll be able to identify with a lot of what's goes on in the stories. Let me add, thirty seven of the stories have been shared. Then to for you that have read some of them there's another ten short stories. Though all the above is important for you to know; there's one point really important to me. This point is simple, into that I hope you enjoy the stories as I did writing them for people on-line. Ben Steinlage Note: There are 43 Short Stories and 1 Poem; in this collection
