My thoughts about Spirit Women ~~
Authors who write short stories and make them meaningful have got to be geniuses—to create a beautiful, lasting world with very few words takes a special talent. Rolando Garcia has penned an amazing book full of wonderful stories about women. Each story is impressive in its own way.
Spirit Women is filled with stories showing the strength, power, and wisdom of women. Every story is unique and unexpected. I loved each and every one of them!
I wrote down my reaction after each story and these are my comments. "Not what I expected. Whoa! Beautiful story. Interesting, went back and read it again. Empowering. Unusual and unique ghost story. Choices, fate and destiny. The power and beauty of Mother Earth, her spirit." So you can see, there are all kinds of stories within the book, each invoking a different emotion or reaction.
This is a great book with beautiful stories and I highly recommend it. I enjoyed it so much!
I received a copy of Spirit Women from the author and this is my honest opinion.

Lovely cover
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Nancy. The cover of my book was drawn by the talented artist Julia Baumgart (https://www.linkedin.com/in/julia-m-baumgart-904b9469). She also drew the cover of my book "The Sun Zebra".
ReplyDeleteHere are two fun facts about my book cover. The first is that it shows something unusual happening. Can you tell what it is? And the second is that the cover of Spirit Women portrays an instant depicted in one of the stories featured in the book. Can you tell which one?
Let me know if you figure these things out!
I love ghost stories, I think I'd enjoy this one!
ReplyDeleteHi Dianna. Thanks for your comment, and sorry for the late reply. There are a few supernatural stories in my book involving ghosts such as "The Ghost of Museum Bridge" and "Halfway Point".
