Snapshots: Short Stories

This collection features 75 diverse short stories arranged by five themes: hope, fantasy, nostalgia, shadow and light. Like snapshots, these stories capture moments and reveal truths we might otherwise miss.

Ease through this treasure chest of deeply moving, satisfying and complex stories cap-turing snapshots in time with the precise amount of words. Imagine being a ghost glid-ing in and out of many lives, gathering up precious reminders of the human struggle and comforted by the messages received. Then, without warning … FLASH! The warm blanket is stripped away by sobering stories daring us to seek a deeper perspec-tive. Tassone’s wonderful way with words has proven that yes, big things do come in small packages.- Libby Belle, author of The Juicy Parts: And Other Quirky Stories

In these short vignettes, we can begin to reflect on our own lives while there’s still time to emerge anew. - Jeffrey Kass, award-winning author of The Rona Diaries. One World. Two Pandem-ics and Oreos and a Pack of Marlboro Lights
