About Long Island's Easy Writers
This anthology marks the debut of Long Island's Easy Writers, six talented authors who share Long Island, New York as their home. They met through a creative writing workshop at Suffolk County Community College and together they have assembled 32 of their best short stories for your entertainment. Coming from the worlds of business, law, medicine, security and the military, they have brought an array of experiences and interests to their works.
These stories expertly show us the world through the eyes of characters as diverse as the authors themselves: troubled teenagers coping with lives that are changing too fast, caring families suffering the loss of a loved one, regretful adults working to overcome their mistakes, not to mention a genie, some ghosts and a psychopath or two. Each story is a new journey along a road that covers tragedy and redemption, cruelty and kindness, love and longing. With ample doses of drama, action, horror, mystery, fantasy and even humor, Long Island's Easy Writers' Short Story Collection-2008 has something for every literary taste.

April 20, 2008: I seldom, if ever, give a five star rating. The only reason I picked this book up is because my roots are from Long Island. There were few if any stories in this collection I didn't like, although my favorites A Friend In Need, Rekindled Senses, Camel Cab Co., Some Sundays Suck, Crystal's Secret and the conclusion, Solitude were all from different authors.
