  Short Story Press Presents...

  He is a famous author, a man who has penned best sellers. A man with a wife and a safe, sedate life. What drives his inner sorrow, then? What fuels his hidden frustration? Perhaps the answers start with the strange one-worded statements other people keep making at him. Maybe the truth lies in the reason why he is so extraordinarily afraid of answering back to those statements the wrong way. 
  In this modern world, he is beyond the modern man, understanding far more than the average person, able of communicating far more than the best orator, the most talented blogger, or the greatest novelist. Yet all his thoughts are imprisoned within him because of the fear they can cause, that is, until the man meets two strange twin girls. 
  What is the twin girls’ secret? How does the writer find out about it? How will these girls prove to be either his salvation... or his greatest doom? In a world that cannot understand him, does he finally have a chance to be understood? Witness the perils of a life where evolution and linguistics combine, where hopes can be forged and disappointed simply by using a sentence, where nothing may be Better than Syntax, not even a kiss from someone you are supposed to love. 
  Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.

  Have Gun-Will Travel followed the adventures of Paladin, a soldier of fortune-turned-hired gunfighter, played by John Dehner. Paladin preferred to settle problems without violence, yet, when forced to fight, excelled. He lived at the swanky Carlton Hotel in San Francisco, where he dressed in formal wear, ate gourmet food, attended the opera and enjoyed the company of beautiful women. When working as a gun-for-hire, he dressed in all black, used calling cards and wore a holster, decorated by a characteristic chess knight emblem. The knight symbol was in reference to his name and his occupation as a champion-for-hire. One of radio's best-loved Westerns, Have Gun-Will Travel lasted on radio until 1960 and was televised from 1957 through 1963.

  An uplifting, bittersweet drama set in a nursing home, celebrating friendship and the human spirit.
  A nursing-home conservatory. Sean sits alone, abandoned to his memories. In storms Patricia, a feisty woman with a zest for life and for handsome men in wheelchairs. A wary intimacy develops between the two, an unforeseen relationship, by turns charming and combative, tender and funny.
  Infused with wry humour and humanity, Deirdre Kinahan's Halcyon Days is a celebration of our quest for meaning in even the most seemingly hopeless of circumstances.
  'a touching drama... what distinguishes Kinahan's play - what gives it its pulse - is its finely-drawn characters' - The Irish Times
  'straightforwardly honest and touching... there's a wonderful balance between humour and poignancy here, and even within the humour, a rich blend of both unintentional hilarity and insightful wit' - Entertainment.ie
