Hysteria 2

Hysteria 2 is an anthology of winning stories from the Hysteria 2013 writing competition. The stories span cultures, some you will be familiar with and others you won't. They cover a wide range of experiences that affect women in today's 21st century world.

We meet the girl who can't attain her dream because school is for boys, the reality of living with a stroke, long distance marriage, how the childless cope in a world full of technology and a marriage with no heart. Ten stories altogether, each is told with feeling and love and every one reaches into the heart of the reader without any effort whatsoever.

New Year's Non-Resolutions

Year after year, the 31st of December rolls in and I don't make any New Year resolutions. I'm happy with that. I know that it's not going to happen anyway. I won't get more sleep, no matter how much I want to. I won't work less or go to gym more. I will yell at the kids when I'm grumpy and I won't spend less time writing. This is who I am and I'm comfortable with that.

Happy 2014! May you all find contentment with who you are.
