Hi Paul,
To make the short serve you need to get the first bounce close to you on your side. The main focus though needs to be on where the ball lands on the other side of the table. This will take a lot of training to master. Set up some targets on the other side of the table to help you with your focus.
It is easiest to get a backspin serve short because the ball will stop on when it hits the other side. The topspin serves will want to bounce on and long.
Our Serving Secrets Revealed DVD will help with this one.

The Kicker Serve
The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.
