PUBLISHERS BLURB
This collection was written from a variety of prompts supplied by storyaday.org and originally published on Morgen’s blog (morgenbailey.wordpress.com – where you can still read the list of prompts), during May 2011, 2012, and 2013.
In this book there are stories of revenge, overcoming obstacles, newfound and lost love, shopping, chocolate, legends of history, and the occasional alien or two.
We have crimes afoot, writer’s block, characters with and without friends, homages, humans and non-humans, scratches, squeaks and barks.
From Chelsea buns to casseroles, we share the highs and lows, but the stories all go to show what can be done with a prompt, a few hours, and a colourful imagination.
MY REVIEW
What a fun read, perfect for dipping in and out of when you don’t really have time for a novel but want a quick read…..
Each of the short and some very short stories are all the result of a writing prompt….so if the prompt is alternate reality, then the story is a little sci-fi tale and so on, resulting in an eclectic mix of stories with many characters and genre and a joy to read.
There’s quirky, fun, heartwarming, sci-fi, creepy thrillers and so much more …..
A very clever way of igniting the imagination….
Thank you to Sarah at Book On The Bright Side for the opportunity to participate in this blog tour and for the promotional materials and a free copy of the ebook. This is my honest, unbiased review.
