From Phoenix Flames: A Collection of Short Stories

Today on the blog we are featuring the new collection of short stories by the amazingly awesome Lena Winfrey Seder. From Phoenix To Ashes: A Collection Of Short Stories


From Phoenix Flames is a collection of mostly realistic fictional short stories that follow the struggles and awakening of various characters who evolve and rise from their drastic situations just like the phoenix that rises from the ashes to be reborn. A couple of humorous and paranormal stories lighten the seriousness of these dramatic tales. 

These stories are meant to entertain as well as to educate about the growing problem of domestic violence. It is the hope that these characters and their stories can stimulate dialogue that will search for solutions while encouraging those in need to get help. 

There are 11 stories in this collection. Some highlights are: 


Taking Care of Business: Telekinetic Dani seeks revenge after government experiments tortured her and ruined her teenage years. 





Check out Lena's blog Pearldrops On The Page for a fun interview with her characters. 



I am a huge fan of Lena's writing. Anyone who reads these stories will enjoy every second of it. Lena also writes poetry and has previously released other books as well.  Get your copy of From Phoenix To Flames right now. You will love every single word of every story!!!
