I hope you enjoy my novel, "Gratuity," and my book of short stories, "Shared Lives." Both are available as printed paper editions and as ebooks. Check out my other story collection, "Moments," as an ebook at www.AuthorHouse.com/Bookstore. That's a strong collection of experimental fiction, satires, parodies, introspective stories. Also at my author's blog, www.CharlesATaormina.WordPress.com, I've posted a complete book, "The Writing Arts: An Author's Perspective." Thanks for considering my work! Charles A.
