Thanks, Diana, this was a unique book. Some of the stories were about the author or one of his alter egos, but there were a few that stood alone, and "Aurora" was one of them! Thanks for stopping by and for the kind comment!

You're welcome! This was a unique type of short stories. Most of the stories were either about the author, or his alter egos. There were a few stand alone stories though, that gave some variety! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

Great review. This seems to be comic relief book. Short interesting stories here and there.

While this approach to writing is quite uncommon, I’d never pass up a book of short stories that’d make me cackle or chuckle. Thank you

This definitely sounds like a fun read. Short stories go well together with my life at the moment, since I often get interrupted by my kids... and I hate to stop reading in the middle of a chapter 😁 anyway, sounds like the author had a very unique approach in writing this book. Thanks for your thorough review!
