Snapshots

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

Don's beautiful stories journey through the range of human emotions. Trauma. Sad-ness. Regret. Turning to redemption. Renewal. And hope. 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
