From the author of Musings, Woolgatherings, & Ghosts comes a collection of short stories born out of moments of whimsy, mystery, and longing. CK Sobey believes in the indefatigable power of imagination, and that inspiration comes from all around us. Each day can bring a revelation. Each experience can become a muse. In A Collection of Tiny Stories, Sobey shares those revelations in the form of tiny tales and art, both magical and reflective. In the words of D. Donovan from the Midwest Book Review, “These short works don’t require linear reading. Readers can skip through the sections and will find them succinct, stand-alone pieces that delight no matter their arrangement or the wellsprings of their wonder.”

Be prepared for your heart to take flight as you follow the adventures of each memorable character in this unusual collection of seven remarkable tales. True romantics everywhere will discover just a tiny bit of themselves in normal, everyday Abigail, the heroine in the title story of Just a Book.

When a transcript of her dreams becomes a bestselling book, Abigail must learn the hard truth that success can never be cherished if the price is too steep. Each of the remaining stories in Just a Book, from "Embrace in Flames," the story of Nora the doomed sorceress, to "Beloved Enemy," the tale of Sir Sterdan, a dragon-slaying knight, are set against an unexpected concoction of both real-world and makebelieve locations. So much more than Just a Book, these seven short stories will delight readers with a host of unforgettable characters moving through an endless series of fascinating twists and turns of fate.

Ten women, ten stories, told in diary form... Each woman is as unique as her story, a patchwork quilt of places, faces, experiences and circumstance. The only common thread is the year and the diaries fall into order by month. Written in distinct voices, each story gives a vivid picture of the age and crisis of the diarist. These vastly different stories range from sixty-eight year old Ruthie, facing her mortality as she battles a terminal illness to twelve year old, biracial, Jasmine, facing an identity crisis as she reaches adolescence. The diaries of Libby and Eden take you to hidden places of darkness while the diaries of Sissy and Brooke shine a light on all that is wholesome and sweet. The reader will empathize with Jessie and Claire as they journal their way through self-discovery and the diaries of Angela and Maggie will cause you to laugh out loud. The stories are a unique collection that immerse the reader into the lives of these women and give an understanding of human strength as well as human weakness. Each story is an honest portrait of the human condition. These stories run the gamut of emotions, always entertaining, they are by turns poignant, sad, lighthearted, serious, graphic, and at times downright hilarious. Diaries carries a message to the heart that touches the soul.

These early works by Guy de Maupassant were originally published in the 1880's. As a collection of short stories, this represents Maupassant's tales set in Paris, and includes 'The Patron', 'The Wardrobe', 'Waiter, a Bock', 'The Dowry', 'Moiron', 'Mademoiselle Pearl', and many other titles. Guy de Maupassant was born in 1850 at the Château de Miromesnil, near Dieppe, France. He came from a prosperous family, but when Maupassant was eleven, his mother risked social disgrace by trying to secure a legal separation from her husband. After the split, Maupassant lived with his mother till he was thirteen, and inherited her love of classical literature. In 1880, Maupassant published his first - and, according to many, his best - short story, entitled 'Boule de Suif' ('Ball of Fat'). It was an instant success. He went on to be extremely prolific during the 1880s, working methodically to produce up to four volumes of short fiction every year. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions.
