About the Author

This anthology of stories is the result of friendships forged as we attended a writing class at Osher Lifelong Learning. Express Yourself In Writing is a popular class led by Pat Edelman. Each week, she challenges us to create a short story based on a particular topic. The following week, we read our work to the class. We consider each story, discuss the narratives presented and offer thought and opinions. We formed a diverse group of imaginative adults whose talents grew and never failed to amuse and engage us. An unexpected bonus was discovering how sharing our stories around the table, generated feelings of friendship and support for each other. We agreed that these stories were too entertaining to keep to ourselves and have selected some of our favorites to share with you.
