Book Cover & Preview Text
I've been married before and I've lived with men too. Having done this kind of thing a couple of times in my life, you'd think that I would be a so-called "expert" on the subject of marriage (legal or common-law) but, alas, I am not. Instead, I find myself wondering, "Why do people get married or live together, anyway? Do they do it to be happy or miserable, or to make other people miserable?" Ironically, it seems to me that most married people want to be single again, whereas, those who have never been married or lived with the opposite sex, want nothing more than to live in "marital bliss" for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, I have never been quite smart enough to figure out what that term, "marital bliss" means. All I know is that it never worked out for me the way I thought it was supposed to work out.

About the Book
This is a collection of my short stories that I’ve written about people, their relationships and the common problems that they face every day. Issues like marriage, divorce, murder, betrayal, seduction and deception, as well as other topics, like the human condition and the many things that affect it. Mainly, these stories are for adults. If you want to preview a couple of my short stories online, you can visit my blog (by “Annie”) at: http://annie-myshortstories.blogspot.com.
About the Author
I have been writing short stories since the mid-to-late 1990s, but mostly since 2004. I‘ve had a lot of experience with people in my past jobs, and particularly in the present since my current position is a Computer Science teacher at a Scarborough, Ontario high school. I’ve been a teacher for almost 11 years full-time. I am also a mother and a grandmother. I’ve studied psychology and sociology at university and have a fair number of English courses to my credit. I was a part-time English tutor for two years at Seneca College (1993-1995) and I won Seneca College’s Tom Proctor award in 1995 for Business Communications. I love writing about people, their relationships with each other, and the many things in life that affect them. This comes largely from my personal life experience, but is not limited to that. I live in Ajax, Ontario and have been living there in my own home for a year now. Ajax is where I want to make my home from now on. My roommate, my son and my grandson all live with me.
