SHORT STORIES

I have also published several short stories. Short story writing was my entrée into fiction, as I guess it is with many. I have published fourteen stories, many having received awards in national competitions. I will be publishing Towards Forgiveness: Sino-Tasmanian Stories from Two Islands with Ginninderra Press later in 2011, the two islands of course being Hong Kong and Tasmania.
