Synopsis "Creative Ink, Flashy Fiction: Flash Fiction Anthology - Book 5"
If you like your fiction entwined with fact ("faction"), this collection of flash fiction (less than 250 words per story) is for you! Theodore Jerome Cohen is an award-winning author who has published more than ten novels-all but one of them mystery/thrillers-two short-story anthologies, and one Young Adult (YA) mystery/thriller written under the pen name Alyssa Devine. During his 45-year career he has worked as an engineer, scientist, CBS Radio Station News Service (RSNS) commentator, private investigator, and Antarctic explorer. What he's been able to do with his background is mix fiction with reality in ways even his family and friends have been unable to unravel! A few of the stories featured here, in Book 5 of the series Flash Fiction Anthologies, were award-winning entries in the weekly Flash Fiction Challenges sponsored by the Website Indies Unlimited. Most, however, are the product of Cohen's creative mind, knowledge of history, and yes, even a great sense of humor, all prompted by an endless stream of provocative photographs of people, animals, buildings, and landscapes found on a variety of Internet sites. Specifically, in this volume, you'll find, a chat with Sylvester Stallone, a tragic story about Elvis Presley, a doll's painful thoughts, and a story about love at first sight. In short (pun intended), there is something in this book for almost every genre and taste.
