Introduction to the Sullen Wake to Flowers

The Sullen Wake to Flowers

Be humble to knowledge, as it will always be greater and more fierce than ego and explanation.

5 Short Stories, read in chronological order:

1. Rendez-vous a Nice
2. Now He is in Naples
3. Snow House
4. Soft Spring Shadows
5. Petals in a Hurricane


This collection of short stories stalks people waking to the world, to natural life and human nature as they see it. They listen, and they decide and fail. The sullen wake to flowers is a funeral, a safe home, a brighter day, a weaker pulse. The characters are the carriers of strange anecdotes, testing the realities of passion and humanity. Like a shot heard in the woods, they run and they fear, they wonder about the lives they lead and would they change? If only they would not escape.


The grasp of a stylus is tight when one's soul is flowing onto paper. I loved writing these stories as I loved reading them back. Nothing invigorates my heart more than my own creation, and my best so far has been my writing. I would like to share my passion with the readers of the future, and with those closest to me in life, and in life forgotten.
