Story Behind The Book

"My love for short stories was the impetus for bringing this collection into the world. Some of these stories were written very early in my life while others were created this year. While the older work has certainly been edited, you can see my transformation as a storyteller from my author infancy to what I consider now as my maturity in writing." - JC De La Torre
