Alan Crawford

Retired, with plenty of time on his hands and a healthy dose of grumpiness. The collection leans into sarcasm, cynicism, and a twisted take on the world. Inspired by the likes of Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams.

Several curious people, really it’s just one, asked me how or where the ideas came from. Thankfully, there’s no clear answer. When the trousers, mind, or weather conditions suit such things, the computer opens, a page appears, and it starts to flow. Wondrously weird, odd, and strange things abound.

The Stories to Tell Collection now has four ebooks.

She spent the next decade flying freight and commuter routes, reminding herself, "Cowgirls don’t cry." Dust yourself off and get back on that horse.”
