Dear Ms Mooney,
I enjoyed the paranormal Christmas story of yours I read last year so when I saw a collection for the, IMO neglected, Thanksgiving holiday I immediately bought it. There’s a nice mix of everyday contemporary, post apocalyptic, and Sci Fi – something for everyone. With the stories averaging about 8 pages, it didn’t take me long to finish. But after I had read them all, I had a nice smile on my face and was feeling better – which in this COVID lockdown and facing not having a large celebration with family, is a good thing. B
