About the author

D. Reed Whittaker

<p>Retired engineer creating worlds I'd like to live in and people I'd like to know. My focus is&nbsp;on older readers, but my stories &nbsp;should appeal to the serious reader. It's been fun meeting/creating MarieAnne, Steve, Bill, Maggie, Sylvia, Smitty, Linda, Billy, Suzy, Ken, Molly, Dad, John Henry, Melody, Sally, and George. I think you'll like meeting them, too.&nbsp;<br><br>Assortments are collections of short stories usually in response to various contests in Writing.com. I hope you&nbsp;like them. Enjoy.</p>
