     A Review of a book of short stories!

   Veronica Henry's short story anthology, Bloodlines, Tales From the African Diaspora, creates an awesome impression. Ms. Henry put together a collection of short stories by authors who not only entertain, but allow the reader to experience places they will never visit and people they will never meet.
     Each of the fourteen short stories excites and moves the reader to turn the pages to experience adventure.
    The stories range from Ronald Jones' African sci-fi adventure Skyboat Strangers, Boureima Igodiame Soumana's tale of a stolen child in Near But Far, Eleanor Adams' edgy experience of African-American women in Along Racial Lines and Kalunda Bockarie's voyage to a futuristic prison on the moon in Lunar Slam.
Each of the author's creativity is expressed in developing unique and compelling characters.
    You are drawn into each story with characters that energize word pictures that pull the reader into the storylines. The settings are realistic and the scenes are crammed full of action.
    This is like experiencing a fourteen-course gourmet meal, with each course tasteful, flavorful and satisfies a variety of genre appetites. There is something for every reader to enjoy and experience.

Reviewed by Ronald Hull 2/21/2015
Reads like a winner to me. I enjoy short stories because I have little patience and time reading novels, even though I write them. I have read a few short stories from Africa. Primarily from authors here. I find them refreshing because they tend to be very different and delve into subjects and places that I will never go again. I really appreciate these divergent viewpoints to good story writing.
