The author introduces this book of stories by saying they are "stories of survival, fear, suspense and emotion".And I would add: darned entertaining.Oh, I have my favorites."Breathe in Autumn" has a main character with a running internal dialogue that bounces you around emotionally until the final twist."An Awakening" is cleverly written, and shows us the turmoil of a difficult decision that many of us could see being justified."The Presentation" is a deliciously served cold dish.I enjoyed these slices of fiction. I only wish some slices were larger, because who doesn't want larger portions of a tasty treat?I recommend this book, The shortness of some stories means it's a quick read, and perfect to have on your kindle for when you're in a long line at the DMV or waiting for your sandwich at the deli. But you should also take more time to savor the longer pieces. That's where the meat of the meal is.
