If you do not have time to read a long book or love variety, short stories with a twist and surprise ending, and a change of pace in reading, then please check out this book, An Angel Among Us – Short Story Collection, 15 stories to keep you turning pages and wanting more.
A collection of short stories that covers several genres including romance, grief/loss, mystery, suspense, sci-fi, fantasy and paranormal. This book is dedicated to a courageous friend who passed away this year. The first story is specially created for her and is the inspiration for the title of this book.
This book was dedicated to a high school friend who died of breast cancer in 2017. Anne was a lovely and kind person who would go above and beyond to help those in need. She gave so much of herself in everything she did for others up until the time she passed away. She was loved by many and missed every day.
Anne and I were friends in high school but afterward went our separate ways and did not connect until years later at a school reunion. Then after that we were out of each others’ lives again until we connected on FB one day a short time before she died. I always wished that we had been able to reconnect long before this tragic time.
During that short time we corresponded back and forth, and I mentioned that I was writing a short story collection. I told her that day that I was going to write a story just for her and dedicate my book and title to her. She was truly An Angel Among Us; one that I will never forget. I felt blessed to know her and get in touch before she was gone.
When you read this story and our correspondence, I guarantee, you will feel the love and heartache that I felt as I wrote and responded to her. It was heartbreaking even more so since she had lost her husband the year before due to cancer. Unfortunately, Anne died before this book was published but I did manage to send her a copy of the story. She told me that she was honored and delighted by the story and thankful for my efforts. My dedication to her was a way to honor her memory. I only wished she could have had the book in hand.
All the stories have a surprise ending, and each one is in a different genre. I love writing in a variety of genres. There is something for all tastes in this book.
Here is what readers are saying.
I hope if you haven’t already read and reviewed this book, that you will give it a try soon. I would love to hear your thoughts and whether you would like to see another short story collection in the future.
A reader did ask me if I would continue some of the stories into full-length books since they enjoyed the stories so much that they didn’t want them to end. By hearing this, it makes me think that I did something right by gripping the reader so much that they wanted more.
Thank you so much for stopping by to read this book and for your continued support. Please come back again for more books, reviews, specials and whatever else pops into my already overcrowded head.
Blessings & Hugs! Stay Safe, Stay Well and God Bless!
