Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most interesting figures to emerge at the turn of the twentieth century was Ambrose Bierce, whose acerbic columns in the San Francisco Examiner spread his fame as America's most bitter cynic and misanthrope, and whose disappearance into Mexico surrounded his name with an aura of mystery. Although best known during his lifetime for his journalism and always critical of his own writing—"the magnificent intention mocked by the actual achievement"—Bierce's fiction endures, especially his short stories about the Civil War. Originally published in the 1890s and rediscovered in the 1920s, the Civil War stories are filled with unsparing descriptions of death and suffering, disillusionment and fatalism. They also show a concern for form and craftsmanship, a controlled irony, and an economy of detail that are distinctly modern. In this pioneering study of Bierce's stories, Stuart Woodruff examines the best and worst of Bierce's fiction with clarity and excellent critical sense, and he traces the causes of Bierce's success and failure as a writer, analyzing his inability to reconcile the extremes of temperament and belief that marked his life and give his stories their characteristic form. Among the pieces discussed: "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," "The Mocking-bird," "One of the Missing," "Chickamauga," "Ha•ta the Shepherd," "What I Saw at Shiloh," and excerpts from The Devil's Dictionary and Tales of Soldiers and Civilians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing today has grown to be accessible to anyone who has the passion and drive to put a story out there. No longer is it limited to just the people with money and influence. With Amazon, a writer can self-publish their work for free. This doesn't mean one can simply copy and paste something from Wikipedia and put their name on it. Solid writing takes work and a steady routine to advance it to the next level. Not unlike going to the gym, if you just sporadically write only when you feel like it, you will develop about the same rate as you would if you just attended the gym on occasion. Think writing 30 stories in 30 days is easy? Well, the author did it! It was far from easy, as life seems to pop up when you least expect it. The challenge concept was simple, "Write a story a day for 30 days and get individual attention daily by an acclaimed editor." I chose to participate and it was an incredible experience to actually develop a routine that is not only healthy and challenging, but fun at the same time! Grace Black was my editor for the duration and gave infallible input throughout, which you will find inside this compilation! Inside you will find:* Each original story and the day number it was written. (I.E. Day 1- Deadly Holiday)* Actual author comments, as to content development and creation for each* The very first draft of each story, before reducing it to 101 words!* The submitted story!* The edited version, with input, corrections and suggestions! Some of the editors acclaimed stories inside are:* In a New York Minute- Being a successful detective can have its downside!* Second-Hand Smoke- Bumming a smoke gives a whole new meaning!* Art Appreciation- You just never know what you will come across at a garage sale!* Brick by Brick- An abandoned house never felt so much like a home!* Wish I May- Be careful what you wish for!
