Whoo hoo!! I am thrilled to release my latest efforts into the world.
I owe a big THANK YOU to everyone who pre-ordered.
For years, I’ve had short stories included in different anthologies through various groups and most of them were never seen or read. So, I decided to resurrect and republish them in a complete collection. And to my surprise, I got a couple of new stories along the way.
Then, I browsed through a folder of my late husband’s early writings from the 1960s and chose some pieces to share in the Lyrics section of the book.
Yet, it didn’t stop there. One day while I was driving my granddaughter to one of her dance classes, she shared with me some poems she’d been writing. Her depth of insight rather shocked me. She has a unique voice and view. I had to include some of her poems in the collection as well.
There is something for everyone between the pages of Fringes, Heartstrings and Lyrics. The stories range from gritty dystopian to heartwarming slices of too-human scenarios. I sincerely hope you’ll give it a try!
I will be taking this book on a blog tour around the world and hope you’ll join in and share. There just might be some giveaways along the journey.
There is nothing more I can say, other thank you all for your amazing support and encouragement.
