I'm a middle grade writer originally from Canada, now living in New Jersey. My multi-cultural adventure MG novel, ADVENTURE ON NEMESIS MOUNTAIN, is now available on Amazon. My children have been the inspiration behind many of my short stories, over 40 in total. One of my short stories, Paradoxical Neighbor, has been published by Nelson Education in a book for 10th graders, NELSON LITERACY 10. My shortest story, Secret Mission, has only 97 words. Both of these flash fiction stories and several more are featured on HubPages: http://anniemcmahon.hubpages.com/hub/flashfictionforeveryone
