Gaze: A Collection of Stories

by Susan Ferguson

In the sixteen stories that make up A Collection of Stories, author Susan Ferguson explores the ways in which amazement, anxiety, anger, happiness, indifference, pride, sorrow, love, hate, joy, fear, uncertainty, and shame shape and alter our relationships with friends, family, and strangers. Several stories have been published previously in literary journals, including New Letters, Mochila Review, Downgo Sun, and Chrysalis Reader. Curtis Urness Sr., editor of Downgo Sun, says, "The stories of Susan Ferguson's collection Gaze move the reader much like the migration of birds and butterflies in her wonderful story, 'Tiny Birds' across a myriad of human experiences and emotions. Ferguson has a keen, discerning eye for the motivations, anxieties, hopes, and strivings of her characters, combined with a matter-of-fact style of writing that draws in the reader with the seduction of a thriller.  An important new book!"

[Warren Bull · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gaze is a wonderfully well-written book that engages and immerses the reader in the world of each story. Susan Ferguson's use of language and sensory imagery is unmatched. I give it my highest recommendation.
