John Chabot is the author of two mystery novels and a book of short stories. He lives in North Carolina, on the staff of a wife of fifty-three years and two Siamese cats. In his spare time he makes up lies.
J.C.: I had to take a while to think about this one. I write both long and short, and each has its own attractions, but I think I most enjoy writing the short stuff. Why? Another good question. One, it's easier to experiment with them, and I like to mess around and try new things. I once wrote a parody of a hard-boiled mean-streets PI who found himself in the middle of a cozy. It was fun to do. And for the more serious stories, being short can give them more intensity. If you have a point to make, it can be a sharper point. How about you? What's your take on this?
