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 J. 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

 

Alecner

Cynthia J. Cordell

This is space opera at its finest.


Riley Sinclaire is the newly elected Chancellor of the planet Voltaire, known for its strong technological lead in the Alpha Centauri quadrant of space. His singular obsession for destroying the planet Alecner is his only weakness. His grandmother was spat out by the wayward drug-promoting ways of Alecner and he has an ax to grind with that planet.

Hi Andrea, Your poems and stories are very vivid and have a lot of symbolic meaning. They're wonderful to read and sometimes remind me of my own short stories. You have excellent 'framing' techniques in your writing where symbols are contained within an outer context of images which also (somet... view book
