Poems, Puzzles, and Short Stories

By John V. Konior

There comes the point where it's time, I suppose, to gather and compile much unpublished, per se, and unrelated literary epistles under one cover. So, here it goes.There is lots of stuff included such as poems and stories that have been entered in contests receiving the highest of accolades, but didn't win because the writer was new and unknown. In fact, the 500-word essay, "Getting Old for Dummies," received an "All Time Best" award (less than 5% of all poems, stories, etc., posted on the site receive the award) from FanStory.com, a Gold Dust Award for a best worldwide literary site.There's no telling how many great writers go unnoticed because the writers don't have the money or the contacts to promote themselves. I'm positive you "would be famous writers" know the feeling all too well.The material will include some polished stuff and quite a bit of original raw material such as word tangle puzzles.There's no pretense here of appealing to the New York Times Best Seller makers, Oprah Book Review people, and some such.However, be that as it may, this is a great mumbo jumbo of literary art and a fun read.By the way, some of these stories are pretty scary, guaranteed to send shivers up your spine.Enjoy
