I'm a writer of how-to non-fiction (eBooks) and a slightly jealous admirer of those who elegantly describe their real and imagined experiences. David Taylor is a writer who does so.

Each of the little gems in this book harply illuminated the lives of people I've never met. Yet now I feel I know them.

I believe that's David Taylor's gift: vividly and swiftly recreating in the reader's experience his own experience, precisely sharing his world with the reader.

I'm eagerly looking forward to reading his new book, "Soul of a People: The WPA Writers' Project Uncovers Depression America" that I suspect will give a highly relevant reference point for evaluating the times we are now passing through.

I enthusiastically recommend Taylor's work and suggest that you read some of his articles in Smithsonian and a fascinating one in Forbes describing an American entrepreneur who is one of the top Ginseng distributors in China. Unlikely? Well, Taylor seems to have a knack for finding and sharing with us these unlikely but interesting stories.

The little victories in life are what matters. "Success: Stories" is an anthology of short stories from prolific author and documentary maker David A. Taylor. The individual tales focus on the every day lives of people and are written in a particularly vivid and well-crafted style that makes the reader legitimately care for his characters and what happens to them. Emotionally involving that makes you triumph with the protagonists, "Success: Stories" is highly recommended to anyone looking for some realistic, feel good short stories.
