I’m happy to post my first short story to this blog. It’s titled En Passant.

This story is a thriller and I’ve pasted the summary below. Any feedback you have would be great, as I intend to write lots more of these.

En Passant

Daniel Silverman, a chess grandmaster from New York City, awakens to find himself abducted, bound and utterly helpless in a dingy room somewhere in Morocco. He had traveled to the west coast of Africa to play in a major international tournament. Yet, his captors believe his trip had an altogether different purpose. Right or wrong, Daniel is about to play the opening moves of the toughest — and undoubtedly most dangerous — game of his life.

In an effort to get back to writing regularly, I’m going to begin posting short stories to this blog.

My first efforts will be in the thriller/mystery genre. I’ve been doing a lot of reading in these categories lately — particularly thrillers — and I have really been enjoying it. So I thought I’d give it a go.

I’ll set up a page for my short stories, where anyone can read them for free.

Of course, I’ll do a blog post on each to let you know when they’re available.
