Pennies From Heaven, by Award Winning Author, Yvonne Mason - Book Review by Barbara Watkins


Title: Pennies From Heaven
Author: Yvonne Mason
Kindle&Print:
Publisher: Dressing Your Book: First Edition (June 24, 2013)
Genre: Inspirational


Inspirational Stories Written From the Heart


First and foremost, I want to give a personal ‘thank you’ to award winning author, Yvonne mason, for assembling this amazing group of loving and caring individuals – she included. Bravo to, Kelly J. DeSantis, on the amazing book cover design – absolutely beautiful.  

‘Pennies From Heaven’ is a collection of inspirational stories expressing from the heart the pain and suffering of losing a loved one. We know death is inevitable, a part of life, a final departure. But how does one survive life when confronted with the death of a loved one – it really is a fight for survival for those left behind. There really is no right or wrong way – no recipe written or handbook to be read. We must each find our own way of coping with the depression, heartache, and the helplessness death brings. 

This collection includes true stories of those who have experienced the loss of loved ones, and the journey they have taken to come to terms with their own grief. How difficult it must have been to share such personal experiences – yet, they did so in hopes that their story might help others begin to heal.

I highly recommend ‘Pennies From Heaven’ as each story is a tribute to the human spirit.

Five Stars all the way around…!

Review of 'Ramblings of a Mad Southern Woman'


Title: Ramblings of a Mad Southern Woman (A Collection of Short Stories and Poetry on Life, Loss, Love and Longing)

Author: Ashley Fontainne
Sold by: Amazon Digital Services
Print Length: 81 pages
ASIN# B007Z1IGJO

Breathtaking Poetry – Fear-Provoking Stories with Suspenseful Tales Wrapped Around Human Emotions!

Ms. Fontainne (aka, Princess of Suspense) in her writings has a stupendous ability to reach down into your gut – to draw up the deepest emotions from your inner soul…emotions of love, empathy, fear, and revenge. Not afraid to proclaim her religious values, she inserts her loving spirit into a story creating emotional rapture… ‘How 9/11 Saved My Dad’ and ‘Who is Michael?’ come to mind.

When writing tales that involve revenge surrounded by suspense, Ms. Fontainne spares no mercy for the antagonist, as you will witness in ‘Stained Concrete’. With her short story, ‘Death By Shadow’ she manages to stir up terrifying childhood nightmares to which there is no escape. In ’Smoldering Ashes’, the author delivers a fierce tale of pain and torment followed by redemption that ‘one’ will not soon forget.

Ms Fontainne’s poetry is like experiencing a fine wine with an exquisite meal. Her words will take the reader on a journey through their darkest days of melancholy, and then release them into a world of spirited bliss.

‘Ramblings of a Mad Southern Woman’ is a powerful, and emotional voyage – a golden ticket from the award winning writer, ‘Ashley Fontainne’.
