“Almost Nonfiction But Not Quite” is a collection of eight short stories that were directly
influenced by real situations. The events that inspired the stories either directly happened to the
author or they happened to a person who was within two degrees of separation. The stories not
only differ in types of situation, but also characters, genres, realities, and planes of time and
space.
