Paris Shorts, Volume 1

By: Felipe Adan Lerma

Narrated by: Paul Woodson

Each story in the collection Paris Shorts is enjoyable as a stand-alone work of fiction.

Additionally, each has the advantage of featuring one or more of the characters in the storyline of all my novels and short stories written since 2012.

All four shorts are set within the second Slumming in Paris novel, which, as of the date of this forward (early August 2013) is completed, but going through my reread/rewrite process.

Short stories like this, I believe, do not require knowing the novel first, or any other of my fiction work.

Yet, the stories will either enhance the fiction the characters participate in (in this case, Slumming in Paris, Part Two, The Children) or, if one already knows the related novel, will give extra meaning and nuance to the short story.

My wife Sheila and I spent 5 1/2 weeks in Paris late 2012, which has formed the setting basis for the Slumming in Paris novels, and these short stories. My ongoing series Paris in 5 1/2 Weeks presents many of my photos taken then, which I hope you will also enjoy.
