Portraits and Landscapes is an eclectic collection of short stories about all of us.  The first stories in the collection are about failed romance and how many of us constantly and painfully search for connection in our lives.  Other stories take us across the globe, and speak in a variety of voices, which give us brief glimpses of individuals who struggle to make sense of our world.   The human beings described in these stories will make you laugh, weep and sometimes they’ll make you throw up your hands in utter disbelief.
