Fine ,fresh, fun fiction from Monterey, 14 Dec 2002
By Dawn V. Cope - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Monterey Shorts: Stories by Fiction Writers of the Monterey Peninsula (Paperback)
This book is great and I'm buying another copy for my sister. The stories are well-crafted, written in a variety of genres, and each writer captures a little of the essence of the Monterey Peninsula.I found the lead story, "Reunion", a romantic fantasy by Walter Gourlay, to be especially moving and poignant, not only because I was around during the period (1943) in which the story is set, and I remember the old tunes, but because of the air of eerie mystery surrounding the two lovers.
The children's story by Mike Tyrrel is absolutely wonderful. I will read it to my grandchildren. I hope he writes more stories like this.
Byron Merritt's science-fiction spoof is hilarious, especially his sleuth's extra-terrestrial partner, a gelatinous blob in a coffee cup.
Mark Angel's scuba divers, Lele Dahle's tragic account of growing up in Carmel Valley, Chris Kemp's story of weird witchery, Francis Rossi's attempted murder, Ken Jones' Russian sub, Pat Hanson's hot tubs that talk, and Shaheen Schmidt's place to heal--each story has its own charm. Together they make a delightful volume to read and give as a gift.
The clever cover by local artist Dan Koffman captures the ambience of Cannery Row and is a fit introduction to the collection.

Monterey Shorts is pure pleasure. Ten stories by different authors with varied situations and different points of view, all centered in the Monterey area, create a captivating read.All of the stories are carefully crafted and well written. It is clear that this writers' group works at a professional and discriminating level.
We highly recommend Monterey Shorts for all who want to treat themselves or a special friend to hours of reading delight-a great idea for Christmas gifts!

Monterey Shorts, 7 Dec 2002
By "vivsarub" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Monterey Shorts: Stories by Fiction Writers of the Monterey Peninsula (Paperback)
This book of short stories is a must have for people living on or visiting the Monterey Pennisula. It is a delightful mix of fantasy and fiction centered on happenings in the coastal towns surrounding the Monterey Bay. The book of short stories is written by a writers group, each story by a different writer. The stories range from a flavor of John Steinbeck to a comic science fiction to flights of fantasy--Definitely an enjoyable read.I will be recommmending this book for my Book Club group to read in the future.
Waiting for Monterey Shorts #2.
