This is my fourth collection and it did not disappoint. I really appreciated the diversity of style and genre represented by The Eclective. Each story stood alone and at the same time fit in with the others. My favorite was The Smell of Death by Tara West about a girl forced to hide her true self to avoid problems for her mother untilthey meet Mrs Churchill who accepts Maggie for who she is. Anotherfavorite is Cupcake Godess: SoulfullySweet by Shea MacLeod. It featuresBranwen introduced in The Eclective'sPride Collection in her usualcomedic/cranky role of wish granter. This short points out life is most satisfying when taken on life's terms. I have to admit I am somewhat partial to The Cupcake Godess. She has the combo of compassion vs. snark I find particularly appealing.
