Best Short Stories, Book One by AZ Writers contains 40 captivating stories written by 37 different authors possessing an outstanding range of talent. Unlike many other short story collections, in this book, the listener will experience the writing voice and style of many authors. Whereas in most other collections, the listener is confronted with a dozen or more stories written by one author who writes stories with the same voice, the same style, and usually with the same plot, which after a story or two, become quite boring. 

Or, as in some other collections, the listener will find stories written 100 years ago by authors who are no longer with us. In Best Short Stories, the listener will find a contemporary multi-genre collection of stories by dozens of authors who are still, as of this writing, on the green side of the grass. Best Short Stories includes memoir stories, historical fiction, creative nonfiction, and many other well-written pieces that will amuse, intrigue, and captivate the listener. A few of these stories may make you laugh, and a few may bring a tear to your eye. In this collection, you will find well-crafted stories with irony, sarcasm, adventure, mystery, crime, and a couple of stories with a bit of romance.
