One Thousand Stories delights with fresh short stories, discussion questions for readers and for writers seeking to improve their craft.

"Bumblebee Webs," the first volume of One Thousand Stories, contains 3 flash fiction pieces, each with their own sets of questions, and each demonstrating unique and memorable characterization.

We are an old woman at the end of her days, spending an imaginative afternoon with her great-grandson, we are a man cursed with talking like a thesaurus, and we are a teenage girl driven toward romance with her best friend, then driven away again.

Each story, though short, is immersive, and the questions are thoughtful. And resources for learning techniques used in each volume are available.
