All of these short stories were written when I was at high school, between about 14 and 17 years old. Marital Bliss was actually published in a compilation of works by Waiheke writers called "Bean Rock to Starboard".

The others were mostly written either because we had to for an assignment, or because we had to for 'creative writing' or because I wanted to enter a competition. Many of these stories won short story competitions at my school, but since my high school had only about 400 students, I don't really know if that counts for much.

You will have to judge for yourself. Just be aware that they are very short, even as short stories go.
