Sale ends May 31st. Here are just a few readers' reviews.  "These are literate, polished, elegant, and engaging stories. The characters are well-drawn, fully realized and unique. I found myself reading these stories one after another, finishing almost all in one sitting--I found them irresistible--each one like a perfect small gift from an author who knows her craft, and uses it to explore vital, complicated human beings in situations that are strikingly authentic. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Reading Deals in exchange for an honest review. This is one I can recommend to all without reservation." "Kate Blackwell should be better known. Her stories are subtle, surprising, and spell-binding. I am reading the collection for the second time. Can't put it down." Pick up a copy on sale  “If you are searching for interesting short stories that aren't burdened by wrapping everything up for you then this is a must read. If you like your stories to lead you to a predictable conclusion then this writer and these stories are not for you. “The characters are amazing. Some are like strangers I've seen from a distance in my own life. Some are friends I've known forever. Some are former girlfriends and lovers. All are flawed. “The writing is almost poetic and the emotions that well up in most of these stories were very real to me. You feel for these people. No the stories don't have a neat little ending and that's the point. Does your life? " Pick up a copy on sale.  "Immediately, each story pulls you in so that you lose track that you are even reading. You are brought into Paris and Mallorca, experiencing each place with your eyes, feeling the impact of the weather, and hearing their unique sounds, and then you're further transported into the inner lives of the characters through the delicate wandering of their minds. Though I finished the book nearly 6 weeks ago, the characters and scenes continue to float through my days." "A story of hope, lost dreams and a little bit of criminal activity (and absolutely NO spoilers from me). The characters are wonderfully portrayed and I loved every minute of it. This is my first Danny Wynn story and you can bet I will be checking out some of his other works. Oh, and if my review hasn’t caught you attention, Mr. Wynn includes a bit of a gift at the end with the inclusion of a marvelously written short story. You won’t be disappointed."

Blues For Beginners is funny and provocative; and the writing is so smart; so beautifully sophisticated. This is the book you won't be able to put down until the very last page, and then, I promise you that you will be looking for one more chapter. More! More! More!" "I love this book. I love Ms. Podell's sense of humor. Sometimes the writing is laugh-out-loud hilarious. The rhythm is fantastic. I was touched by the poignant stories, too, that hit just the right note. She is a wonderful writer and I wish she had written another 200 pages - about anything really, but especially her life in New York. Even though this is a short-ish book, I would have paid more for it.." Pick up a copy on sale.
