I hope you enjoyed reading this short story collection. This was a first for me: not once have all my stories appeared in one place! Writing Ordinary Souls allowed me to experiment with many different forms of the storytelling medium I have loved for so long. Out of these sixteen stories, I had the most fun writing “The Mirror” because it was so different from anything else I had ever written. I also had to do much more research for that story than I’ve had to do for my novels—that’s what happens when you set a tale across the pond!

And now I ask a favor of you, dear readers: if you enjoyed this collection, would you consider telling others about it? A great way to do this is by sharing your thoughts with other readers by leaving a short review on Amazon, Goodreads, or any other site of your choice. Reviews can make or break a book’s success by helping other readers choose what to read next. They also increase a book’s visibility and credibility. The more positive reviews a book has, the more likely the newbie reader will take a chance on it.

Remember, a review doesn’t have to be long. “I really enjoyed this book,” will work, for example, or “This wasn’t the book for me.”
