MORENO VALLEY, Calif., Dec. 5, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- It is certainly not every day that you happen upon a literary piece that not only captures your imagination, but also takes you to a realm where possibilities become a reality. From author Duncan L. Dieterly comes a collection of twelve fictional stories that will entertain you and make you think of the frailties of life.

Short Stories Two is the sequel to Short Stories One published in early 2008. Read about a surprising twist to Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman's deaths, or ponder on the possibility of an extraterrestrial existence that causes chaos for humankind. Each story will entertain and enchant you with its realistic tone, while the speculative aspect will bring you to thoughtful depths you may have not gone before. Be ready to be fascinated, enlightened, frightened, angered and even excited with each concoction of entertainment mixed with some interesting concepts and perceptions -- some may offend, others will challenge, but most will delight readers of all genres.

Short Stories Two range from science fiction to western, and always reflect a unique social perspective and analysis. They are a mixture of whimsy, wit, what if and social commentary. The author wishes to be a teller of tales who titillates his audience. For more information, log on to http://www.Xlibris.com.

About the Author

Duncan L. Dieterly began seriously writing fiction when he was sixty-eight years old. He was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. He graduated from Withrow High School there in 1957 and the University of Cincinnati in 1961. He had served as an officer for twenty years in the US Air Force, retiring in 1981. While in the service he acquired his Master Degree at George Washington University in 1971 and a PhD, from the University of Maryland, in 1975 in Industrial Organizational Psychology. He had worked as an adjunct professor at several Universities and spent his final twenty-two years of employment at a large California Utility.

Dr. Duncan Dieterly has survived three marriages and has four grown adult children, a son and three daughters. Previously over a forty-year period he had written endless professional papers, articles and technical training guides. He chooses to focus his talent toward fiction during his semi-retirement years. He collects too many books and reads too few as his primary relaxation. Duncan is an apprentice ``word weaver'' who is seeking to craft stories that entertain and excite readers. He would like to see the world evolve into a better place; allowing all people to achieve their dreams. One of his guiding principles in telling stories is: Omnia exeunt in mysterium. -- ``All things end in mystery.''
