About the Author

The Amazon Shorts Program has breathed new life back into the realm of short stories. It provides a platform for legendary authors as well as some of the most talented new voices in the country to showcase their very best short literature. This anthology of short stories written by 19 Amazon Shorts published authors is the brainchild of Lana M. Ho-Shing, who first expressed the idea on an Amazon Shorts discussion board. E. Don Harpe suggested the theme: writing stories using a view of THE WORLD OUTSIDE THE WINDOW. Submissions were requested, nineteen talented authors replied, and this book became a reality.

5.0 out of 5 stars NINETEEN AMAZON SHORTS AUTHORS MAKE DREAM COME TRUE, January 24, 2009

I am proud to be one of the nineteen Amazon Shorts authors who contributed to this excellent anthology. My story is entitled, "Saying Goodbye to Miss Molly."

I acted as reviewer on some of the stories, as did the other authors in this collaborative effort, and also read the final version several times. All of us have at least one short story on Amazon Shorts.

It is truly amazing what a group of creative authors who write in different genres and styles can do with the same information. Readers will find everything from romance, to sci-fi---from mystery to paranormal and everything else inbetween in these beautifully crafted stories. We were all given the same set of circumstances to choose from and include in our stories. Some authors used more, some less, but in reading this book, it is quickly realized what can happen when an idea meets the fertile mind of a skilled author.

I highly recommend this anthology to everyone. Thanks to RJ Buckley Publishing, there is something for everybody in this excellent collection of short stories!

5.0 out of 5 stars View From The Window, February 2, 2009

By 

Rebecca Randolph Buckley "Writer and Publisher" (Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The World Outside The Window (Paperback)

When I looked out the window facing me, my attention zoomed to the young woman sitting on the bench across the street in the park who was crying. I knew there was a story there. It quickly drew me in. Soon my imagination was creating a moment and the story began writing itself. Eighteen other authors experienced that same moment as they began writing their particular take on the view from the window. You, too, may experience what the authors' saw through their imaginations. (The view is on the cover of the book.) The stories are compelling, some more mind provoking than others, some simply entertaining. All are worth the read.

This review is from: The World Outside The Window (Paperback)

A good book to weather away a leisurely afternoon by the pool or enjoy an evening of reading pleasure.

The World Outside the Window anthology is an enjoyable excursion seen through the eyes of nineteen different Amazon shorts authors. A literal smorgasbord of literature covering all genres as each writer saw something different outside that one window.
