Act of Creation and Other Stories by J A Pak

This author has a love affair with food, and it's reflected in her stories...


Ms. Pak sent me an invitation to review her ebook on Smashwords (thank you).  It consists of three stories that are short and sweet  with a focus on food.


The author's writing flows smoothly, she doesn't waste words, and each story makes you pause a moment and think.  My favorite story was the first one, Act of Creation.  Her character manages to purge her hatred through food.  It was fascinating to see how she resolved her issue. 


Ms. Pak's characters might be a bit shallow, but they are real.  You'll recognize them as you read about them.


I have something special to offer you as a reader of my blog.  Ms. Pak has graciously offered to share her stories with you for FREE.  Just visit Smashwords and use this code to get it free:  YL34F


It will be available for two weeks, so go get your copy now.  It comes in a variety of ebook types.  And then let me know what you thought of that first story, OK?


Happy reading!

I loved these three stories! Food in all its glory, but then so much more. The relationship each of the characters has with food, the psychology involved,the author's eye for detail...these are some of the points that really make these stories stand out.Then, there's the sheer imagination behind each tale; the kind that makes a writer say "I wish I'd written that!"
