Collective short-term heartaches

Beautifully well written collection of short scenes, spanning all genres of fiction. Each scene immediately drew me in, creating a connection with each introduced character and events, before moving on to the next moment of my future flash mistress. Each scene left me wanting, heart aching, as I regretfully devoured each segment in anticipation of the next.

Holly has a true talent for creating organic fiction that rapidly comes to life and entices you for more. I felt that each short moment was like voyeuristicly peaking into a moment of some grand and epic tale. I wanted to read more, know more a out what lead to each moment, and what comes next.

I believe that Holly has the unique talent of story telling and expression to expand upon and create instant sagas of any genre she wishes to bring her readers along. I am eagerly awaiting and anticipating any future work she releases.

A vivid Collection of Character-Driven Micro Fiction, really, just a selection of short scenes that nearly tell a full story. The fictions spanning all genres, like Sci-Fi, Fantasy and more. There were a few, I'd really like to read a full story around.

Entertaining collection of short stories. I enjoyed the wide variety of topics that it covered. I recommend this book to readers who would enjoy starting each day with a new story to contemplate.
