Diverse stories that blend humor with the fantastic, everyday life with the otherworldly, compassion with darkness.

There is something to be said about a well-told story. Whether it is a flash fiction piece under 1000 words, micro fiction, which is even shorter, or a long, multi-layered story, it will take you somewhere you’ve likely never been. It can make you laugh, cry, afraid, wonder or feel compassion—not only about the world around us, but ourselves.

Sit back and delve into these tales broken down into the categories of Something Funny, Something Sad, Something Dark, Something Otherworldly and Something Noble, with a little something extra at the end.

I hope they will take you to a place of understanding, one that will inspire you to look at people with new regard…or at least inspire you to create your own story to be told in print.

With much gratitude, Something Told is presented from a love of writing—that strange calling which weighs so heavily on the soul yet brings much delight in its achievement.

Stories that pull you in, push you up, then down and all around! Deep, funny, sad, scary, sexy, stories, but all of them are full of soul. Entertainment at it's finest!

Deep, Rich Voice

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2019

I started reading Salted with Fire by Nancy LaRonda Johnson. I stopped quickly … not because Johnson didn’t have a lyrical, descriptive style but because it was a combination of poetry and prose. I just can’t get into poetry. I don’t understand it. Thus I can’t appreciate it. But I was impressive at Johnson’s wordplay. Even in the few segments I read — it was a mix of poetry and short stories — I recognized a depth in her writing. And I did find it interesting the way she wrapped up each individual piece with an open ended, Christian based discussion point. That approach paved the way to delve into your thoughts on the section you just read. Salted with Fire led me to another of Johnson’s works — Something Told: Spoken Stories. I needed to read more from her in my wheelhouse — short stories. I needed to see if the rich descriptions that were the hallmark of Salted with Fire could be continued in a story format. I did read the 13 tales broken down into the categories of Something Funny, Something Sad, Something Dark, Something Otherworldly and Something Noble, with a little something extra at the end. I am pleased to report, Johnson does have a deep, rich voice that brings readers not only into the stories on a visual level, but in a suggestive mental level as well. As a reader, you can envision the nuances and details of the encounter. I didn’t particularly see the humor in “Funny”, but I certainly did feel the sentiment in “Sad”, “Dark” and “Noble”. “Sad” played on my emotions. “Dark” was dark — teasingly sensuous but dark nonetheless. “Noble” made you stop and think. I give Something Told: Spoken Stories four stars. I thought there was a flirty sensuousness, especially in Mealtime Rendezvous. I always appreciate descriptive writing and I applaud the depth of detail. I’ll leave Salted with Fire up to you.

Unique eye for detail and imagery.

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2019

Something Told is a buy. Short stories are the poetry of prose. Nancy LaRonda Johnson serves readers with a rich variety of choice. Everyone will appreciate Johnson’s unique eye for detail and imagery and enjoy her sometimes unexpected conclusions. Her short stories are precise, cut to the bone, every word a necessity. When it comes to short stories, I look for the artful way they are conveyed, but I also love when a story has a powerful message, when a story teaches me something about the world. A splendid collection of stories to transport readers, ranging from a strange experience with a Xerox to the perfect bite. A big thumbs up for Something Told.
