Paul Mark Tag has showcased his knack for storytelling in his two thrillers, Category 5 and Prophecy. Before these novels, he honed his skills by writing short stories. Here are fourteen of his favorites. This collection starts with the humorous "The Curious Miss Crabtree, " in which two boys receive orders from their mother to deliver Christmas cookies to a scary neighbor. In "Mary's Secret, " six-year-old Mary has two girlfriends who visit at night. Are they real or imaginary? In "A Matter of Honor, " an immigrant finally accepts the heritage that he has been hiding from. "Double Exposure, " a mystery, spotlights the curiosity and resolve of a spunky teenage girl: "As a child-and especially as a teenage girl-I was told I was too smart for my own good. During the summer of 1963, I proved them all wrong." And published in the online magazine storybytes.com, "The Long Walk Home" is a "short-short, " only 128 words long. Most of these stories will warm your heart, two or three will keep you on the edge of your seat, a few will make you cry. And the last of these, "The Errant Ricochet: Max Raeburn's Legacy, " will make you do all three.
