The Second Annual Volume of short stories originally published monthly for free on www.mlbuchman.com. It began in 2014 as a gift for my fans, but I quickly discovered the joy of the short form. I have a lifelong love of short fiction as a reader, but it took me until 2014 to begin writing it. Inside this volume I have collected the second year’s worth of those short stories and added introductory commentary for each tale. Come join me as the Night Stalkers fly to the rescue, the Hotshots stride into wildfires, dreams are sewn (literally), and chefs are murdered with flair. Come join my characters as they find adventure, romance, and true love. A baker’s dozen of short tales certain to tickle anyone’s fancy.
Author
USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestseller M. L. “Matt” Buchman started writing on a flight south from Japan to ride his bicycle across the Australian Outback. Just part of a solo around-the-world trip that ultimately launched his writing career. From the very beginning, his powerful female heroines insisted on putting character first, then a great adventure. He’s since written over 60 action-adventure thrillers and military romantic suspense novels. And just for the fun of it: 100 short stories, and a fast-growing pile of read-by-author audiobooks. Booklist says: 3x “Top 10 of the Year.” PW says: “Tom Clancy fans open to a strong female lead will clamor for more.” His fans say: “I want more now…of everything.” That his characters are even more insistent than his fans is a hoot. As a 30-year project manager with a geophysics degree who has designed and built houses, flown and jumped out of planes, and solo-sailed a 50’ ketch, he is awed by what is possible.
