Tales of Loss and Guilt by Ray Kingfisher

My previous review of a collection of short stories stated that I thought I just "didn't get them".  Reading this collection of shorts showed me that I can "get" shorts.  They just have to be the right ones.  All of these had a proper ending, they didn't leave you thinking "what was that all about?"  They had a vague collective theme, yet were all different in themselves

I particularly liked Karen in "Hot Smoke in a Cold Climate" and Herbie in "Part of a Plan".  I was picturing Herbie as Jake in the American drama "Touch".

I rate Ray Kingfisher as one to watch for the future.
