The Arizona Rangers
Serving the people of Arizona and raising money for needy children since 1957.


One Hundred Word Story
I love short-short stories ("flash fiction"), and writing a story in 100 words presents a real challenge to writers, and is a delight for readers.

Fifty Word Stories
This is another short-short story site, and has published one of my pieces as well.

Pelikan Pens
The best literature comes from a fine writing instrument.  :-)


Plowshare Forge
There are a handful of vendors for a knife like Emmet carries in The Ballad of the Laurie Swain; this is where I got mine, and I can heartily recommend his work.


Poetry.org
Fine site for a variety of poetry appreciation and instruction.


Six Word Stories
It doesn't get much shorter than this. Think fiction haiku.
