About Scribbled Stories, Volume One
What will Jonathan Meyers find when he takes the forbidden shortcut through Harper’s Pond?
What happens when Miss Abigail Louise Dettonridge and her beau engage in more than simple courting?
Is it really a good idea for a lazy, good-for-nothing husband to build the (unneeded) underground safe he saw in that infomercial?

Scribbled Stories, Volume One is a collection of 10 short stories, six of which are award-winners. Each Scribbled Story begins with an original photograph taken by the author who then wrote the story each photograph inspired in her.
Some pictures may be worth 1,000 words, but in these 10 Scribbled Stories, author Shawn Hansen gives you both.
If you enjoy a little murder, like a dash of mayhem, are inspired by young love, and don’t mind seeing the bad guys get it in the end, then Scribbled Stories, Volume One is for you!
