CFLsurf.com - Ross's Bedtime Stories

This page lists a collection of children's bedtime stories by Ross. They originated mostly from my practice of making up extended ongoing stories for my kids when they were young. Now the kids are big, and I don't write any more. These stories may be printed for your personal use and not-for-profit projects. Ross retains all publication rights. (I have to say that to make sure I don't see Amanda Stuffed Bear in the bookstore someday with someone else's name on it). Amanda Stuffed Bear was illustrated by a professional artist, has been submitted to publishers numerous times, and has been presented in public on many occasions. It is probably my only story that has a ghost of a chance of ever being published. I think many folks will find some of the others pretty cute. If you read only one, go for Amanda Stuffed Bear. Enjoy.
