Variations: John's Violin Stories

The violin has been a lovely pastime in my life. That is one of the reasons I have written short stories about it ranging from serious themes like the Baroque murder mystery of Who Killed Jean-Marie Leclair to an imaginative time travel yarn where Captain Kirk of the Enterprise goes back in time to kidnap some of the world's best violinists to have a Battle of the Violins in the future. The violin has been fun for me and so has writing stories about it. John Hartig Novelist
