The Novella Alone is also in the book TrialsEnjoyed it, worth it
I really enjoyed this eclectic mix of stories! Even the genres that weren't my normal cups of tea were well written- there isn't a bad apple in the lot, and that's hard to say about most short story collections.While I enjoyed everything in the book, a few really stood out: "What's Your Year, Darlin'?", by Melanie Griffin, "Steam Makes the Mirrors Move", by Lillian Archer, and "Road Trip", by Janet Walden-West.Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of this book!

Favorite pieces were Jazz City Blues, from John Hartness, who I've just wandered across recently; The Intern, the first I've run across by Ken Schrader, and Road Trip, from Janet Walden-West.Actually surprised by how much I enjoyed it, and pleased that I'll have a couple new authors to watch out for....
