PLEASE TELL ME IF THE GRASS IS GREENER is the dominant work of writing of the Millennium. This compilation of seven short stories is peerless of it's kind. Each of the storytellers will take your hand and lead you through the unpredictable, and sometimes disgruntled, fields of life. "Even Snowflakes Have Flaws" takes on the essence of a young woman and her struggle to grasp the perfection society is fixated on. In "Eyes Like Mine", Braylee tells of his determination from boyhood to avoid stagnant roads that could end him astray. Jude is faced with the struggle of choosing love or lust in "Sweet Potato Pie". In "Nothin' Worse Than an Unmade Bed", Promise regrets not knowing how to love her man right. The thought of his leaving devastates her. The narrator kicks knowledge to the wanna be playas in "What Goes Around". His experiences as a bachelor will floor you. In "Daddy's Little Girl", the narrator conquers the anger she had towards her father. She realizes that it is time for her to not necessarily forgive and forget, but to move on. And lastly, James Sr. forces you to be an accomplice of his brutal thoughts as he fights to cope with failed dreams and lack of will in "You Ever Seen A Grown Man Cry". PLEASE TELL ME IF THE GRASS IS GREENER is beyond powerful, moving and all those other common descriptors. It is unfeigned.

Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
END OF THE RAINBOW projects is a company founded by self-published author, Joylynn M. Jossel. The sole purpose of END OF THE RAINBOW is to introduce in all those encountered the quality of sharing of which Joylynn’s grandmother instilled in her. "But first," Joylynn states, "we must all ask ourselves how long will we continue to wait at the end of the rainbow before realizing that we, in fact, are the pot of gold?" This query, now the aphorism for END OF THE RAINBOW, incites those with a passion in life to envision and manifest it, and for those unaware of their passion to unearth it. END OF THE RAINBOW has rights to Joylynn’s "Please Tell Me If The Grass Is Greener". The success of her work is the foundation of the empire that will eventually be reigned by the passions of many others.
From the Author
I have so much to share with my readers. In the near future I plan to focus on my children’s stories. My 13-year-old son is most excited about my children’s pieces, as he will be the illustrator for the books and promotions. I also have a large compilation of poems highlighting the past decade of my life. I will break down the pile into individual books of poetry (Volume I: World On My Shoulders, Volume II: Fallen Bird, and Volume III: Flower In My Hair). I'm also in collaboration with an erotica of which my piece will be titled "Daydream". I am so blessed to be creative in various genres of writing.
In between writing, publishing, promotions, book signings and children’s craft, I enjoy teaching an invaluable workshop for those considering self-publishing. “Self-Publishing: The Basics You Need To Get Started” is a very informative session of which I outline everything one needs to know in order to get their manuscripts bookstore shelf ready.
As Founder and President of END OF THE RAINBOW projects, I am committed to taking my own passion of writing and making it the exemplar of the company's mission.
MISSION STATEMENT: To take the gifted passion assigned to us by God, recognize it, accept it, and act on the fact that the finished package is not ours to keep.

A Poetic Rythym,
By nubiangodess (south-east usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Please Tell Me If The Grass Is Greener (Paperback)
"Please Tell Me If The Grass Is Greener" is a beautifully written collection of short stories, written with a poetic twist. Joylynn focuses on issues that are real, and brings about valid points, while allowing the reader to "feel" her every word. I highly anticipate reading more from this fresh new voice in the writing community.

An amazing author...,
This review is from: Please Tell Me If The Grass Is Greener (Paperback)
Everyone knows how it is to purchase a book and let it sit for a while as you read another. Well, I did just that and I was upset with myself for not reading Joylynn Jossel's book first. It is fantastic! It left me speechless. The rhythm that this author's words are written in has a flow unlike any fiction I've read. When you start reading it you'll see what I mean. These stories are so deep and emotionally touching that they warmed my heart.The second story in the book "Eyes Like Mine" was my favorite until I got to the next story which is "Sweet Potato Pie". To my knowledge, the author only has one book, but I can honestly say that she's one of my favorite authors because her writing style is just so "different". She is so classy with her words, witty with her characters, convincing with her insight, and extremely sharp with her creativity. This all adds up to a dynamite writer that we all will be hearing great things about! I can't wait for her next book, but you better read this one.

Impressed,
By Nubian Sistahs Book Reviewers (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Please Tell Me If The Grass Is Greener (Paperback)
I was first impressed with the beautiful cover of this paperbook. After reading on I became more intrigued. The compilation of the seven short stories found in this book will leave its reader thinking. The author Joylynn M. Jossel, provided her reader with a sense of realism, truth and clarity.Each story was easily read and ultimately contained powereful messages of wisdom. I suggest anyone looking for a quick entertaining uplifting book to read check out, "Please Tell Me If The Grass Is Greener." Ms. Jossel writes the story, and in return the story speaks for itself in the mind of its reader. Thanks for the pleasant read. I look forward to reading more from this author. Keep the Creativity Flowing CA Lindsey, Nubian Sistahs Book Reviewer
