Refreshing! Entertaining!

Pat Ballard has a refreshing, creative style that, not only entertains the reader, but brings her message of love at any size. The characters in this book of short stories come alive, even though we're only given brief glimpses into their world. I felt like I knew these people and wanted to know more about them when I'd finished their story. Ms. Ballard brings surprise and intrigue into the development of each of her stories. MORE! MORE!

Comment from the publisher

I'm sorry to hear a reader was disappointed in the book, although it's a compliment, in a way, to hear someone feels a work is too short, since people often feel that way about good books they'd like to go on reading. I am puzzled, however, as to how the reader could be surprised that the book contained short stories, since that is the subtitle of the book and is noted in the product description. The nature of short stories is that they are short. Contemporary literary fiction even contains a subgenre of short stories called "flash fiction" or "sudden fiction" consisting of short stories no more than one page or a few paragraphs long each. I'm glad the reader enjoyed Pat Ballard's novels, and hope she will appreciate the novel Pat she has just completed, Abigail's Revenge. Pat says it's longer than anything else she has written!
