Short Stories

SUBMISSIONS:

       I've just begun to submit short stories to magazines for publication. After publication I'll make them available here for people to read. CREDITS and Links TO THE MAGAZINE WILL BE NOTED. While parts of this website are built, STORIES AREN'T YET AVAILABLE HERE. This story process will be designed, but it's not yet in place.

ADVANCE REVIEWS:

        Some stories have been provided in advance to selected readers and reviewers. Their comments appear below.

"... (Don Calderwood's) stories are filled with lyrical descriptions that catch you unawares and then keep you reading until you reach the end of each story. And what stories these are! Don Calderwood writes about people who are lost, people looking for answers or relief or rescue... with characters whose experiences have a vague (and slightly scary) similarity to your own life, just enough to make you connect and understand."
Nancy Christie, Professional Writer, Short Story Author

“What a ride!  Absolutely gripping!  The twists and turns in (story title) had me at the edge of my seat…when all of a sudden the end just knocked me for a loop.  I never in a million years saw it coming!"  
Cheri K., Cleveland

“I wasn’t prepared for the humor in many of the stories - it was fresh, quite different, really funny. Loved it! Thanks!”
J.D., Chicago, IL

“Really good stories. Unexpected twists and turns, and really entertaining.” 
Dave R., Pittsburgh, PA

“So, your characters are something else, and what they get into is a ‘Wow.’ Nice work.”
Nancy V., Cleveland, OH
