Bruce Holland Rogers has been writing fiction full-time since 1991. His stories range from literary and experimental to SF, fantasy, and mystery. Rogers is married to psychologist Holly Arrow and has long been interested in what psychology might teach writers. That interest was the foundation of Word Work: Surviving and Thriving as a Writer. He is the author of four or six story collections, depending on whether or not you count e-books. His stories have won a Pushcart Prize, two Nebula Awards, the World Fantasy Award, and half a dozen assorted nominations. Rogers’s fiction appears regularly in a wide range of magazines and anthologies. He recently began teaching fiction writing for the Whidbey Writers MFA program in Washington state. He also teaches writing seminars in Greece, Italy, and other locations in Europe.

Eu tambén!
One characteristic of the web is that with Google Alerts, I know when my name has been posted somewhere.
For anyone who would like a look at some of my fiction before my talk, there are links to a few of my very short stories at www.shortshortshort.com.

This is advance meeting of a glorious kind! Excellent to have the chance to read some of your short stories. Many thanks for the links. Would you like to offer any suggestions as to any particular stories to read in advance of your workshop?
You have popped in to a group of students studying English as part of their degree course in either Translation Studies or Languages, Literature and Culture. Many would love to get involved in creative writing – a fabulous medium for language students to get involved in.

Allyson, all of the ten stories linked to are short, so it would be a simple matter even for busy students to read them all. But for those who don't have the time or inclination to do that, the best-known of my stories are "The Dead Boy at Your Window" and "Don Ysidro." Perhaps a third one of interest because of its unusual approach is "How Could a Mother," which is also especially short.
