Passageways - A Short Story Collection

by Rebecca Carey Lyles, Lisa Michelle Hess, Peter Leavell, Valerie D. Gray

Overview

Four authors who also happen to be friends. Sixteen unique short stories. From tales of spies and trains and John Wayne, to monks, magic and marriage, readers will be entertained, challenged and inspired. The stories are as varied as the authors, yet they each portray individuals transitioning through the passageways of life.

Valerie D. Gray, Lisa Michelle Hess, Peter Leavell and Rebecca Carey Lyles met several years ago at a newly formed writers group in a back corner of Rediscovered Books, an Idaho indie bookstore. Over time, they became critique partners who share the ups and downs of the writing life as well as act as first readers for one another's work.
