Outcasts: An Anthology Foreword by Dan Fogler (Book Review #1154)
Outcasts is an anthology of eighteen short stories that showcase the skills of many authors’ storytelling abilities. You notice the difference, change in conversation, and the diverse elements of character introductions within the premise as you read along.
The book’s title stands out and makes you ponder how being an outcast can be a positive thing. Although the first few pages really begin to introduce what you may be expecting for the rest of the adventure, each story does stand alone and encourages you to read along.

This review has been featured in REVIEW TALES MAGAZINE.
Very Far from Normal is a memoir written by Josie Allen, pouring her heart out and sharing her story in an honest and healing way. Josie and Sam were living a normal married life, but when Samโs secrets began to surface, things changed for the both of them.
The special thing about this book is that Josie does not entirely write this memoir for the purpose of telling it. She wrote it, making sure that even if that one person, going through the same thing, happened to come across this memoir, they too would not feel alone.
