About the author
Lorin Lee Cary
8 books16 followersQuick and Quirky Stories and Photos (2024), Lorin Lee Cary’s latest book, links his interest in flash fiction with his love of photography.
Read Quick and Quirky Stories and Photos and laugh out loud. It’s an absurd world, and humor is at hand in this collection of flash fiction short stories. These fast reads introduce some unique characters, including a superhero with a flatulence issue and a man diagnosed as “bland.” The photos provoke laughs as well. How about a “No Fishing” sign on a dock filled with fishermen or a cemetery with a “No Passing” sign in front of it?
“A clever collection that provides an effective combination of brevity and wit.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Quick and Quirky Stories and Photos represents the concept of flash fiction at its best….” —Midwest Book Review
“Well-crafted, beautiful….A stunner.” —The Prairies Book Review

His interest in photography began as a kid and blossomed in later years. He has won awards for images in Nantucket, Toledo, Las Vegas, and Cambria. Photos have been published in Typehouse Magazine, Crux, and Carolina Muse.
Previously, Cary taught at the University of Toledo and, as a Fulbright Senior Scholar, at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.
