About the Collection

This collection of Short Stories is Mary Jane Casey Lane's first published work. She has written stories since childhood; but her career as an educator left little time to write. Now, in retirement, she has turned once again to story-telling.

What Readers Will Find

Readers will find colorful characters, some good, some sinister, and some funny. Mary Jane lives in Orchard Park, New York.

The Power of Stories

We all have a story to tell, a journey to take. Some journeys are sweet while others demand time to reach their destination, as Cletus found. Some stories take us down the road to evil. Janice paid dearly. Others are slow especially if the travelers are children. Some journeys are painful. Find them all within this collection. Perhaps you have a journey to share or just maybe you will find your story among those told here.
