Reseña del libro "Twisted Vine: An Anthology of Short Stories and Poems (en Inglés)"
A preview of the author's work with several of her short stories and poems from her beginnings to present. A variety of genres are included with excerpts from some of her published, and soon-to-be-published novels. From flash fiction to a-little-longer short stories, there is also a story in poetic meter. There's romance, romantic suspense, Sci-fi with visions of the future and a space adventure, and fantasies with Celtic and Native American roots. Quote from the book's title story, Twisted Vine: He was taking out his wallet before he sat, pulling out a picture. "You seem so familiar. And your name being the same...and this house, I wondered what it could mean." He handed her the picture. She stared unbelieving. It was a young woman who could have been her in her youth, but more up to date in her clothing than from her day. The dark hair was as long as her gray hair pinned up in the back. "Amazing. Who is she?" "That's just it. Her name is Misty Hathaway. She disappeared about a year ago. I knew her for a short time...long enough to have this picture, but there was never a trace found to prove she'd actually existed. Since names can be common, yours did come up at the time of the search, but, of course, it was Amber and there was an age discrepancy. Still, I have a strong sense I should know you." "How odd." It was all she could say. She thought of her life a year ago. "Tell me about her and your time with her. Maybe that will help you make sense of your loss." From Sweet Cherie Pie: Phone conversation (Joe Magnetti)"Yeah, alright...okay, but only because she's from Texas. And this is the last time. "What is it with you married folks, anyway? Just because I didn't have an old girlfriend to transplant to the big city like you did doesn't mean I want one now. Hell, I'm jobless. "The next time someone calls to arrange a blind date, or if this one's as bad as the others, he'll be put at the top of my Hit List." (Jake Holtster)"Just make it apple this time, goofus. That's my favorite." "I don't know. Those juicy red globs looked pretty funny dripping down all over your face the last time." "That was to celebrate...a long time ago. And I still hate cherry pie, thanks to you. It's only okay because we're still friends." "Yeah...best ever...for life, buddy. Just remember that when you have my pie all over your face again." http: //askdavid.com/reviews/book/short-stories/6299
