This is a very short read--the entire download is close to 200 'Kindle locations' and is comprised of the title story consisting of about 70 locations, a secondary title of about 50 locations, and the balance consisting of a compilation of book blurbs.It's a little difficult to give summary when the stories are so short already--too much spoiler potential.  Instead of trying (and you can refer to the blurb provided under the book's description for details) I will just focus on what I thought.For the title piece, well, basically, I was pretty blown away.  The author was able to create, in a very short format, excellent characters, story-line and ambiance--far superior than many authors are able to do in 10 times as much space.  The story gripped right away and at no point did the author 'explain' things--she showed things and allowed the story to unfold naturally.  I am just an ordinary reader (who happens to like to give my opinion in reviews) and I can give the perspective that, however she did it, it worked.The secondary story, 'Writers Are Crazy And This Proves It, a short story', was also quite enjoyable.  I suspected it's a tad autobiographical...basically a very unusual take on how a story idea demands attention. Excellent and amusing!The last part is a compilation of book blurbs for her other works.If you are looking to explore a new writer this might be right up your alley...well worth reading on it's own merits and you might find something at the end to appeal to you. I don't mind a few pages at the end of a read showing off the author's other works, in fact I consider that a service...in this case the two stories were so short it felt like the blurbs were a bit much in relation.In any case, I was fortunate enough to pick this up as a freebie, but in terms of reading enjoyment I certainly give it a high recommendation at it's normal price (ninety-nine cents as I edit this review).JTG(I redid/edited this review, my typing sucks and I just noticed it...)
