A Pool, a Suitor, Acellist: Bright Shadows Series: Novelette Trilogies for Busy Folks (Volume 1) R. Manolakas 1. izdevums

A lonely and beautiful little girl with a strange friend, a shy, thoughtful young man searching for a purpose in life that will surprise you, and an elderly, sensual woman whose art warns her of the future, these are the spines of the bizarre novelettes featured in this first volume of an enthralling series of trilogies: Bright Shadows?Novelettes for Busy Folks. Due to our time pressures and the increasing stress of modern life, the reader and audiobook listener?s appetite to ?binge read? is increasing dramatically. These novelettes?or short novels of about fifteen thousand words each?are about three times as long as the average short story and about one seventh the average full novel?s length, yet provide the subplots, complications, and wealth of characters and dramatic punch of full length tomes. Each novelette, also divided into three convenient parts, is a self-contained, satisfying, piquant slice of riveting and ageless fiction with fast moving scenes, snappy dialogue, and endings with a twist?much in the style of the Twilight Zone TV series
