Blue Summer Moon: An Anthology of Short Stories, Plays and Poetry

by E L Henry

Overview

Blue Summer Moon is a carefully crafted anthology consisting of short stories, plays, and poems. The short stories and plays range in fictional genres from contemporary and urban to the paranormal and fantasy. Each contains characters that are whimsical, lost and soul-searching, or living on the edge as describes the main character in the short story "Grizzabella" who is unable to grapple with circumstances inside a turbulent reality. "Anyone seeing me would have thought I'd been shot and like in the movies, my brain is waiting for the connection. When it does come, I may collapse where I stand or walk a few feet and fall then." The plays in this anthology equally fuse the same tremendous story writing elements and will be enjoyed by audiences everywhere. There are a minimal set of requirements for each, and for those drama teachers interested in casting a large number of students in a play, then Dreams would be an ideal choice. The characters in this play and throughout the entire anthology will have you believing in them from the start. "...things happen to give way... to dreams, and let me tell you, dreams are meant for all of us no matter where or who you are." The poetry collection is a chosen selection of poems written with the same purpose in mind - to inspire our common interest in love, hope, transformation and the ongoing quest to understand the meaning of our existence "...the secrets of a heart as such remain a mystery to me, for he loved water why could he...not find the sea..." However your spirit guides you, you'll find it between the covers of this amazing book.
