I love writing short stories but wanted to do more with them. The idea was to write five
that could be read and appreciated -- each by itself, but to have them somehow linked -- and
all come together in the last story to become something even more. Short stories that
become a novel... I don't know what you'd call it -- a "snovel"?? Do you have any suggestions?
I still get the most feedback from Autumn Leaves, because it crosses the thin line
between Fantasy and Romance. But isn't all romance a fantasy? (Now, now -- I didn't say
"Science Fiction"... though some would say I could have.)
Still some people are bothered by fantasy and just can't come to grips with it. What did you think
of this story, did it work for you?
