A collection of twenty short and flash fiction stories by published poet, writer, and author, CJ Heck. CJ's has been entertaining children, adults, and schools for over a decade with her humor, insight, and unique perspective of life and the human heart through her children's poetry.
This is CJ's first book of fiction and it's sure to touch the heart and soul of everyone who reads the stories. Many have nostalgic themes, others, CJ's own special blend of humor and sensitivity.
Covered are many subjects, like internet dating, a lonely woman of the evening in a bar on Christmas Eve, the horror of finding a headless body near a sewer drain in the city, and a grandfather and grandson teaching each other about life in a park while feeding the pigeons. Included in the book is one of CJ's personal favorites, which has a surprise ending, one you won't expect.
Whether you're looking for a good book for yourself, or one to give as a gift, you won't be disappointed. These stories truly are ... from a writer's soul.

Russell Daily, Writer and Poet
"Do yourself a favor and get a copy of Bits and Pieces. I have read most, if not all, of CJ's work and she is at the peak of a mountain of talented writers. She writes to the soul of all men, women, and children from her soul. For a look into Americana, CJ is a must read."
Robert Stephen Cosmar, Published Author
CJ writes from deep within her heart and soul and paints pictures full of the color of feeling. Every word strikes a cord deep within and stirs the mind and imagination into memories common to us all. She breathes life into us through her work and nourishes the heart and soul of everyone who knows her. Innocence and beauty that radiates from the heart and soul are rare in an adult. She has guarded her most precious gift and secret and joyfully shares it all with us without the judgement of an adult in the adult world.
