A Story With Spirit!
From Whence Jasmine Blooms by C. Desert RoseMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
As the old saying goes, “One must die in order to truly live.” From Whence Jasmine Blooms dips into this philosophy—sort of. To reach her full potential, Jasmine finds herself on a journey most of us would die for—literally. Heaven, and all of its mysteries, becomes the classroom for this curious young lady.
Jasmine doesn’t enter the Pearly Gates in the standard way. But it’s the people she meets there who become her teachers—each one sharing lessons needed for a life well lived. And many of these teachers are people she already knows—or knew.
This is a short read filled with life lessons and a focus on the bonds of love that cannot be severed even through death. What’s the meaning of life? Grab a copy of this story and find out.

A Fine Collection of Short Stories!
Crackles of the Heart by Da'Kharta RisingMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This collection contains some truly intriguing works by authors who are skilled in the fine art of storytelling. Six writers lent their talents here. They have each taken a core question and answered it in their own unique words.
Though there are different styles at work, there remains a thread that connects each of the tales in this book, like a well-groomed path cutting through a summer wood. I’ve read some of these authors before. I am never disappointed in plots or mechanics or inspiration. Good writers know how to pull the reader in and dazzle.
The stories are provocative, dark, and at times, steamy in their telling—though not in an over-indulgent sort of way. There is an order to the chaos. I honestly couldn’t settle on just one or two as favorites, so I’ll give applause to each of these writers: Da’Kharta Rising, Y. Correa, Adonis Mann, Queen of Spades, C. Desert Rose, and Synful Desire. Cheers for a job well-done, authors!
I am a fan of the short form of fiction. This collection will sit on my shelf along with the others I’ve kept and returned to time after time.
