I'm not a big fan of gone girls, floating and flitting, being a "free spirit". I feel it's degrading to womankind in general. Better to be alone for the right reason than with someone for the wrong. But then that's my opinion. No doubt the stories were well written and creative, the writing imaginative and full of expression. Maybe if the subject matter was more to my liking I could appreciate it more. (  ) AshPReads | Feb 23, 2015 |  Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing. I was given a copy for an honest review.Honestly, there isn't much "Gone Girl" suspense in this collection of stories. Most are outright boring, and the few suspenseful ones are told with detachment. ( ) lesindy | Feb 15, 2015 | Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing. This book is a collection of short stories. Different women but their point of views. What I loved about this book about this book is how the author went from voice to voice - a young girl, psychopath, a young woman lost, a self-absorbed woman, a younger mom, an older mom I was fascinated by each story. (  ) Mindi25 | Feb 12, 2015 | I give this book five stars for the magnificent writing. (  ) JennieGoutet | Feb 9, 2015 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A bouquet of quirky short stories told with intrigue and humor. #1 Hot Release in Amazon France Kindle: Short Stories and #2 Bestseller in Amazon France Kindle: Short Stories Triumph: Collected Stories offers a glimpse into the lives of contemporary women around the world on the verge of breakdowns or breakthroughs. Who doesn't know a gone girl or a complicated woman? A mother, sister, friend, or even that girl who looks back at you in the mirror. Love or defriend them, we all know them. In these interconnected short stories, you'll meet a gang of gutsy gals, mothers-on-the-edge and anti-heroines, including Betty and Alabama, who feature in the forthcoming suspense series, Polaroids. Interview with the Author Q: What makes this short story collection special? A: I wanted to put a variety of stories into one compelling book: there's some suspense, some coming of age tales, quirky romance, unreliable narrators, oddball families, women's friendships, even some travel humor. But what ties it all together are strong female protagonists and compelling literary fiction. Above all, I've written stories to keep readers turning pages. Q: Why should readers give Triumph: Collected Stories a try? A: Triumph is a relatively short read but packs a punch. It reached #1 Hot New Releases for Short Stories (France) and #2 Bestseller in the same category. It's ideal for a book club where you can discuss which narrator you are secretly like: Are you a "Skye," "Faye," "Krista," or--heaven forbid--a "Stephanie"? Ultimately, Triumph appeals to readers who enjoy quirky comedy, a little mystery / suspense, and stories of women in pivotal moments. It's also a glimpse into vastly different landscapes: exotic New Zealand, chic Paris and Rome, soulful India, and Southern Ontario Gothic. Q: Can readers look out for more from you soon? A: Yes I'm in the forthcoming anthology Legacy published by Velvet Morning Press, plus a memoir Xamnesia that traces leaving New Zealand to work in Asia before making my home in Paris... and my suspense series Polaroids kicks off with book one late in 2015.
