“Robinson, IL and Other Flash Fiction Stories” is the first book that I have read penned by the author Dennis Milam Bensie. This book introduced me to the meaning of flash fiction.

I really enjoyed the Kiddie pool story when little Denny pee in the pool wearing a pink swimsuit. The way author has put words in this story made me felt like I am reading it directly from the heart of a kid.

Sunday Drive is another interesting story highlighting father’s realization later to punish the one who molested his son fifteen years ago. Molestation could fill rage in a kid that may stay with him as years passes by.

I enjoyed reading “The Miller Family Reunion” in which the family met Denny’s new wife Julia and one of his cousin Jeremiah travelled on his bike from Chicago to surprise his parents.

All the flash fiction stories that are part of this book are worth reading. There are so many characters in this book. One could enjoy couple of flash fiction stories in one go in their short breaks. Author’s writing style is amazing and I enjoyed reading this book overall. Language used in the book is straightforward and easy to understand. Since length of the book is 130 pages only, one could also read it in a single or two sittings. Go ahead with it without thinking twice. I am sure you will enjoy it.

“NewBee: Lessons Learned while Cross-Pollinating my Life, Discovering my Passions, and Creating my Honey” is a great book penned by the author Ernesto Mandowsky. Like most of us, Ernesto had no idea what he was going to do after growing up. He had multiple interests and passions. He didn’t want to follow the path laid in front of him by his family as his interests are different. So, he decided to create a rewarding career experience made up of his various interests. This is Cross-pollinating.

I loved Ernesto’s idea of creating a vision board by looking at which we will realize everytime what we actually want to achieve in life. I loved when family was also a part of his vision board as I also wanna stay around my loved ones. This book takes the readers on author’s journey as he explored different areas during his school, college life, while volunteering, etc. I could connect well to this book as even I had done engineering and have tried my hands at various options in life.

If you have the curiosity to discover your passion and create your own one-of-a-kind honey then this book is for you. This book motivated me to read SECRET as well to know about the Law of Attraction. Through this book, author is inspiring readers to face their fears in life. I am gonna now create my own vision board and will work towards achieving my goals so one day they could become real components of my life. It’s a well written book that I like to recommend strongly to today’s youth.

Rating: 5/5

Balance Interrupted written by the author T. A. Davenport is the second installment in “An Angel & Savior Fantasy Adventure Saga”. The story is intense and it hooked me right from the first page. Main characters of the story are Briellyn (a human) and Eric Windsor (an Empyrean). Eric has proposed Brie but she is not sure to say yes as it will be a marriage between mortal and immortal. Also, she won’t be able to have children of her own. Will Brie accept Eric’s proposal? How her best friend Justin will take this?

Brie has to look for gems and that is their goal. Once they find all the gens, they can get some time for themselves. I loved the way Eric’s deep history kept on unveiling. Author has created a great paranormal world in the story and gems hunting part is also exciting.

Since the story involves mature content, this book is recommended only for adult readers. Cover photo is nice. Narration is smooth and strong. Brie and Eric’s characters are penned nicely by the author. Pace of the story is even throughout the book and it kept my interest in the story. I like to strongly recommend this book to paranormal lovers.
