Strong Women Anthology
-Misty Urban
"I'm a fan of strong women, so I love the theme of this collection, and I'm happy to say that I enjoyed every piece in it. There's a wide variety of genres represented, from poetry to children's fairy tales, which keeps things fresh and engaging. Magical creatures are well represented, from demons of Cassandra DenHartog's "The Lesson" to the questing queen of the Crypts in D. Fischer's "When Hope Was Forgotten" to the Queen of the Demons in Dennis Maulsby's story, featuring Father Donahey from his Winterset collection. Two of my favorites in the fantastic genre were Erin Casey's "Coffee Chaos," featuring a fae who's just having one of those days, and Val Tobin's "Premonition," which explores the consequences of having visions that prove true. Some women literally kick butt, like Stephen Brayton's martial arts heroine in "Orange Belt Opportunities" and the petite, deadly mob enforcer Elle in Kate McGinn's "What Happens in Vegas." Others use their wits to solve mysteries, like the investigator in Hannah Howe's "Over the Edge." For those who like their realism with a good dose of humor, Sylva Fae offers the menagerie family of "Hollin Hey" and Joy's "Cupcake Hustle," which had me on the edge of my seat wondering what this innocent-seeming lady was up to. Poppy Flynn takes us to Rome for romance in "Don't Judge a Book by its Cover," and DM Wolfenden tells a story of tragedy, loss, and redemption in "The Box." Each author has a distinct style and voice, but each piece has a unique appeal. Rather than enjoy just a piece at a time, I inhaled this book like a box of chocolates, eager to get the full flavor. It's rewarding to see how many ways women can be courageous, and on top of that, sales of this book support a great publication, Mom's Favorite Reads. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and spend your time with Strong Women."
