Wisps of Words

My brother passed away on January 31, 2001. I wanted ‘Wisps of Words’ published on Amazon on January 31, 2023, but I ran into a few formatting issues with the ebook. So I decided to make the publishing date 2/3/23. My 65th birthday. I hit the ‘publish’ button yesterday morning. Success! Right? No. Amazon shows it as being published on 2/2/23. Oh well. The ebook is now available on Amazon for 99 cents. Find it here.

It took me ten years to finally get ‘Wisps of words’ finished. A lot of hard work and a lot of procrastination. Haha.

So, let me tell you a little bit about, ‘Wisps of Words’

‘Wisps of Words’ is a collection of short stories and poems about life, death, and the afterlife. Most of them are fiction and a few are non-fiction written as fiction. One of the stories, ‘Ghosts’ I wrote in 2001, three weeks after my brother passed away for my English 101 composition class in college. I didn’t get a great grade on it. However, my professor wanted me to submit it to the school paper. The not-so-great grade came from the fact that I didn’t really follow and write the class assignment. Haha, I was such an outlaw. However, I didn’t take that class to become a writer. I just needed the credits for my degree. And yet, here I am.

None of us want to face our mortality. We don’t want to think about dying or losing our loved ones but death is a part of living.

I hope that the stories in, ‘Wisps of Words’ will touch your heart and maybe it will change your perspective on life, death, and the afterlife. I don’t know. I do know that life can be way too short.

I want to thank Eden Baylee and Robert ‘Sharky’ Pruneda for all of their help. Love you guys!

I’ll leave you with a quote from the book,

“Sometimes we must experience the sorrow of death to fully appreciate life.”

Hugs till next time,

Karen
