Southern hospitality is alive and well. In this anthology you may find a little old, a little new, and perhaps some mysterious doings. How about a ghost — or was it a ghost pepper? Was that a witch, a sprite, an elf, or a seer? You may be looking for a beautiful garden, a mint julep, or a jazz festival. Come on down! Bless your heart, you may never want to leave.
What A Day! is a collection of stories about special, memorable days in the lives of an eclectic, quirky mix of characters. You'll enjoy fantasy, romance, historical, and more by best-selling authors like Linda Howard and Linda Winstead Jones as well as newer authors, none of which you'll want to miss! Come laugh, cry, gasp, and smile your way through these fun, light-hearted, suspenseful, and intriguing stories.
PJ's Thoughts:
You all know how much I enjoy the opportunity to sample new authors' stories. It's why there are so many anthologies tucked into the folders on my Kindle. The newest one is the brain child of the Heart of Dixie Fiction Writers, a group of Southern writers who are bringing the fun to this new collection of short stories. Each contribution is a quick, but satisfying, story that introduces readers to that author's writing style; a chance to take their characters for a test drive (so to speak) before buying their full-length books. Some of these authors' works are already familiar to me but others are new discoveries. I've already begun checking out backlists and making purchase lists. ;-)
