Whispers — Paty Jager

A whisper is a soft barely audible sound or resemblance of a sound. Perhaps a thought in one's head, a flutter of leaves, a feather floating to the ground, or a wish. In this collection of ten stories and a poem the theme of Whispers is used in different ways. From the poem Soul Whispers, from Dari LaRoche, you can conjure up the variety of whispers in the coming stories. This is followed by the Children's story, Whispers in a Dream, by Susie Slanina, where Metro the dog visits outer space through a dream.  The tale of Friends and Neighbors by Pamela Cowan murmurs of unlikely alliances. In Whispers of the Halycon, author Dari LaRoche's submission is a twist on a fairytale. Author Mary Vine's characters, in Whisper Upon a Star, hide their feelings as they try to find a killer.  Her Zayka is a tale of a close bond between a young woman and the nanny she grew up with. Author R. Hockamin has a unique twist at the end. Of Wings and Whispers is a fantasy where author Diana McCollum takes the reader on an emotional ride as a fairy with a broken wing finds love.  Suspense and romance will keep you turning the pages of author Kimila Kay's Whispering Willows. Author Melissa Yuan-Innes story, Bread and Ashtrays, is an intriguing tale of an empath who sees whispers of a man's life.  The characters in Whispers of the Past, by Paty Jager, are seeking a person whom they may or may not wish they'd never heard of.
