(Brilliance Equity)

Real Dreams: Thirty Years of Short Stories is an anthology of stories I wrote between 1981 and 2011. Each reflects changes in my writing style and interests over time. I wrote the earliest story at the age of ten, and the latest thirty years later.

The stories are grouped by genre and style. You will find themes of hope, dreams, light, darkness, perseverance, and spirituality wrapped up in some novel ideas. Enjoy these diverse and timeless works three decades in the making.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Real Dreams: Thirty Years of Short Stories?

MG Edwards: When I was ten years old, my elementary school teacher asked students to write tall tales in small groups and present them in class. Some chose to tell the story of Paul Bunyan and other well-known legends. Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… MG Edwards, author of Real Dreams: Thirty Years of Short Stories →

Parker J. Cole: I often personify the voices in my head as characters looking for an escape route. Therefore, I was sitting down one day, and Leah and Jacob started talking to me.

Imagine finding out you could never have a baby with the man you love…

Expat American Laney Halliwell finds out the hard way when Niklas tells her he had a vasectomy before they met and isn’t interested in reversing it. Why should he? They’ve got his kids from his first marriage and an enviable life in Stockholm.

What if you fell in love in the most unexpected way…?

But Laney wants more. So when a friend suggests she look into an alternative sperm bank in Copenhagen to find a potential father for her baby, things don’t go exactly as planned. Especially when Laney meets Mads and finds herself falling in love.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Maybe Baby?

Kim Golden: It started with a conversation I had with a friend who was considering going to a fertility clinic and using a sperm donor. We joked about how it would be amusing if choosing a sperm donor was like going to a speed dating session. Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Kim Golden, author of Maybe Baby →
