At present there are 13 stories, and I hope to add two a month. If I get enough page views, I will add more.
Please enjoy the stories, write comments, tell your friends, etc. Please let me know if you enjoyed them and want more.
At present these are designed for self study although I do plan to add some teacher's notes as time goes by. If you are a teacher and you would like to contribute lesson plans or feedback on the stories, please do so in the comments section.
