Blue Springs, Kansas by Arwen Chandler

arwen chandler, blue springs, kansas, short reads, ebooks, romance, thrillerAbout Blue Springs, Kansas:

"Laura had followed Clark on the rodeo circuit for years. She was his photographer, girlfriend, and biggest supporter. He was her life. But what will she do when she finds herself abandoned at the bus depot in Blue Springs, Kansas in the middle of the night? Arwen Chandler's first piece of short fiction is a gripping ride.

Excerpt:

Patrizio, thirty-five, stood five-foot six-inches, and was built more like a brick layer than a chef, but his large hands knew exactly how to make a soufflĂ© and how to gently fold cream into a torte. Men usually looked at his Italian form assuming he had washed ashore from some kind of merchant marine ship, while women just looked. The obvious question that always surfaced in conversation was “How did an Italian immigrant land in the middle of a small town in northern Kansas?” Patrizio never answered this question; he would just smile and laugh, and say, “How does one get anywhere?” (Amazon)

Amazon Review:

"When Clark dumps Laura in Blue Springs, KS, she has to figure out what to do, where to go. First things first. She hasn't eaten in hours, and a small diner down the street looks like the best place to find something this late. An innocuous beginning to a dangerous night."

"Every Flaw Every Perfection is a beautiful collection of poetry. This is the fourth collection of poetry written by Susan Elliott. These poems are poems of the heart; including one in Gaelic with an English translation." (Amazon)

Check out the sample poems below:


Poetry

Poetry; what is this thing called poetry?
Is it mere words consisting of syllables, symbolism, and meter, or is it more?

Poetry; What is this thing called poetry?

Is it something your high school English teacher spoon feeds you as you kick and scream?

Poetry: What IS this thing called poetry?

It is the sound of rain.
It is a first kiss.
It is the boom-thump of your favorite song.

It is birth, it is death, and it is everything in between.


Poetry is.

Starbucks

Sometimes I ponder life
Thinking that things
Are dark and bleak, but
Really life is
Bright and cheery
Underneath the
Coffee bean plant that
Keeps my
Starbucks in great supply.
