The author, David-Michael Harding, definitely has mastered the technique of creating a good story out of straw, you might say.
Since they spread over a wide range of events and points of view, the reader can decide which he prefers, if he has a preference. I felt it was the best story for it showed the brutal, barren life of long-term inmates, whose lives were broadened by the little love they found when invaded by a pregnant female cat who had four kittens. The story tells how he helped a good pitcher, who was still a high school lad, to throw certain curve balls.
The rest of the story was incidental, although good, but the weakness in this young man left a bad taste in my mouth for in real life, if he had any backbone, he would have overcome it. Alden's was a science fiction story that probably would appeal to Young Adults as everything about it lay in the area of fantasy 6. This is another one I truly enjoyed because of its humanity, 7. This e-book was given to me by the author for an honest review.

She digs deep and finds a very brave heart within her little body. She figures out, with the help of her mother, what is right and what is wrong. This is a good depiction that just following orders has serious ramifications and can haunt you forever. I really enjoyed reading about his life and adventures in West Texas.
Henry is a true Texian and proud of it. Even though theirs was a very short friendship, it still had lasting effects. I love the supernatural and this story had a touch of it. It is full of good versus evil; light versus darkness.

It is also about acceptance and forgiveness; and one young couple taking up a magical mantle that is very hard to believe and accept.

The Cats of Savone : 8 Short Novels for Busy People
My Boo Radley is an interesting little baseball which reminded me a little bit of The Sandlot. I love sports stories that promote the love for the game. However, this story is quite sad that is full of regret. The E-man is viewed as a monster due to a tragic accident. But he loves baseball and he teaches a young baseball player how to throw a screw ball.
The young man feels tremendous guilt over not doing more for the E-Man when he gave him so much. Life is full of rejection and regret which is the core of this story. Overall, The Cats of Savone is a wonderful book of stories. Each one is so different and you want to read more from each one. Nov 19, Colleen Turner rated it really liked it. I reviewed this book for www. I tend to gravitate towards long, gripping sagas and involved series that take their time with character and plot development.
What a great opportunity, to get a taste of a compelling story and influence, even in a small way, the author in expanding it. The Cats of Savone is a collection that does not fit neatly into any categories. The eight stories are a mix of so many things: There is a story to capture the attention of just about any reader regardless of their tastes. Each story is surprisingly well developed given the short length and each and every story has touching characters that are hard not to absorb into your heart.
Our young heroine, Rachel, is a remarkable character and is able to follow what her heart tells her is right with bravery far above what you would expect for someone her age. It is truly heartbreaking and I would love to see this made into a full length novel. Forever Beneath the Celtic follows the crew of German submarine U as they traverse the ocean depths and follow out their orders to sink enemy ships.
But when the captain orders they sink the civilian passenger liner Lusitania the men will have their own internal battles between what they know to be their duty and what they can justify as necessary casualties of war. These two stories are just the tip of the iceberg of what is offered in The Cats of Savone and I encourage readers to pick it up and see what else is on offer.
I am so excited to see what story gets the most votes and is selected as the next full length novel from Mr. Any of them would make an excellent choice! Nov 24, Grady rated it it was amazing. Short Stories are the roadwork, preparation, and conditioning. His experiences provide readers with well researched, crushing fast-paced action. Most of his days are spent writing from the cockpit of his sailboat, Pegasus, somewhere off the Nature Coast of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico. He obviously has the talent as he has proven in his full-length novels, and now we can see the seeds of what just may become hopefully more fine solid novels.

Stories like "The Cats of Savone" and "St. Alden's" craft deep, dynamic characters that are realistic and relatable in a very well developed setting. Alden's" are very well written stories that strung me along through the stories of a pregnant cat choosing a prison rec yard as a new home and three new students at a famously exclusive college with a past riddled with mystery, respectively. I absolutely loved these stories. Granted that it is historical fiction, the characters felt fairly stock to me and I never really saw much development in them.
