José began his writing by getting his feet wet in creative writing at a writers' group in Camden New South Wales, Australia. This gave him 'the bug' as he calls it and soon his mind created his short stories and poems and he has not looked back.This anthology of stories is based on spontaneous prompts at the writing group or 'homework' given to the writers to bring to their next meeting.You can see some interesting facets of the author's mind in each of the stories as he lets his imagination take the reader into his moods at the time of the story or poem to first major character, Danny Monk.José has completed his first novel, 'Books, Pens & Larceny' after one of his short stories 'Missy's Book Shop' inspired him to continue that story into a novel format.When not in front of his computer working away, José is reading or spending time with his wife in long, leisurely walks around the Camden area.This is 5th collection of short stories and poetry and he is currently working on book number 6 and a sequel to 'Books, Pens and Larceny'.Visit www.jfnodar.com.au for more information.
