Introduction
For many, the thought of reading an entire book feels overwhelming, and as a result, countless people miss out on the joy of reading. 100 Short Stories is here to change that—to make reading approachable, enjoyable, and accessible to everyone. I believe reading is a source of entertainment and a powerful way to learn, grow, and connect.
Within 100 Short Stories, you’ll find pieces that can be read in as little as 5 minutes, with some taking around 45 minutes, and only a rare few lasting over an hour. This variety allows readers to pick up a story anytime, regardless of their schedule.
Each story spans a range of genres and themes, inviting you to explore what resonates most with you. These tales are woven from elements of my life—the people I know and love, the towns I’ve called home, and even real-life events that have left their mark on me.
When complete and sent to print, this collection is intended to be a book for everyone in the family—its simple cover invites readers to pick it up at any moment, whether with morning coffee or just before bed.
I hope you find as much joy in reading these stories as I have in writing them. I may still be on the journey to reach 100, but I am fully committed to the goal.
