Weather is our constant companion, and when it behaves like a benevolent parent we pay little attention to it. Angry or out of control it becomes terrifying and can change the landscape as well as lives. So I asked my characters to take a ride on the wild side of weather. “Uncharted Storms” takes readers on a journey from a gentle summer rain to raging storms in the cosmos.

I like the title of the book. I’d love to change to reading short stories after a long while of long novels and series. Thanks for the chance.
Sounds like this would be a great change for you:)
Mai, I hope you enjoy my short tales as much as I enjoyed writing them. There will be a couple of additional stories added for the paperback version.
Gorgeous cover! These sound like some amazing short stories! Thanks for sharing Laura.
I knew these would catch your eye and attention!
Hi Sherry,
It took a bit of searching to come up with this photo. It really grabbed me, and Judy at Goddess Fish designed the cover around it. So happy that someone else out there likes it,
Woot! Woot! You won!
Thanks for hosting!
I’m thrilled to host this wonderful collection and a new author!
Writing short stories takes talent! It’s hard to pack an exciting story into just a few pages! I’m always impressed with short stories!
Exactly. I love the challenge of reviewing them too. That makes me appreciate the author even more.
You’re correct Taylor. I’ve loved short stories since I was a child. Uncharted storms was the first time that I tried putting together some of my short pieces, and it is a challenge to create a character within a few thousand words. I would love feedback on this endeavor.
Thank you, Laura, for hosting “Uncharted Storms.” Keep an eye out for the paperback with additional stories. Coming Soon!
Please let me know when the paperback is ready. I wouldn’t want to miss out on new stories and I prefer paperback to ebook!
It’s a pleasure having you on my blog. You’re welcome anytime.
Sounds interesting
