Welcome to StanDryer.com. If you’re here to read stories I’ve written, here’s a quick guide.

* You’ll find various stories of crime, love and life under Published Stories. For example, if you want to know whether Harry succeeds in killing his mother-in-law, read Finishing off Gammie. If want to relax with a quick piece of humor, take a look at any of the Placebo Meadows lecture series under Bits of Humor. Or you can visit the old west in the 1800s and meet Coyote Woman with The Dustville Stories. Finally, you can see stories published years ago like The Conquest of the Washington Monument under Story Archives.

There is also a bunch of other stuff on this site mostly only of interest to serious writers of fiction. In a number of articles, I talk about the art and business of writing fiction and getting it published. The emphasis is on short stories.
