Publisher's Synopsis
These are the collected short stories about Benjamin J. Shaw, The California Poet and Sometimes Detective, written by Benjamin J. Shaw, The California Poet. No, they are not the same, yet, at the same time, they are. We are all the same. In order to best understand these stories, it is recommended that you read Shaw's other works, specifically 20/20 Vision: An Anthology of 20 Twenty-something California Poets and 20/20 Vision: The Novella (available on Amazon.com). In addition, some of the works received "gold stars" in the past (see below). This doesn't mean they are great, or even good. It just means someone liked them and decided to publish them. "A Tonal Mystery" was presented at the 2004 Cal Poly Creative Writing Conference, March 13, 2004. "Galileo's Rescue" and "The Brief Biography of Benjamin J. Shaw, The California Poet" (presented here as "About the Author") were published in Calaveras Station, CSUS, Vol. 8, May 2005.
