Glimpse vol. 9 Best Scenes Lisa Mathisen

Glimpse vol 9 - BEST SCENES Female author and short story maverick Lisa Mathisen highlights the best of her penetrating observations and musings in this ninth volume of The Glimpse Series: Imagined Scenes from Imagined Lives. Best Scenes is a mixed genre sampling of fan favorites featuring 50 uniquely original tales in flash fiction style. The wide range of genres takes the reader on a cerebral thrill ride through scenes with biting humor, spiritual poignancy, haunting dystopia and nail-biting drama. In her typical style, a palate cleanser of oh-so-endearing protagonists is thrown into the mix as a momentary respite; like a shady tree on a steamy day. Mathisen's writing reflects: Mark Twain's sardonic humor; Poe's creepy elegance and Heinlein's fantasy futures wrapped in human frailty. For those unfamiliar with flash fiction, Best Scenes is the perfect introduction to this writing discipline. Mathisen gives us a "glimpse" into the lives of 50 protagonists you never saw coming.
