About this title

From the Author:

What began as a simple Facebook short story work-shopping effort has become a labor of love.
The eleven authors first wrote their stories individually. Then we all worked to fine-tune each story so they shone. Since this is a multi-author, multi-genre collection of stories, there is something for everyone. Whether your tastes lean more toward Contemporary Fiction or to the grittier side of life of Grit Lit, you will find at least one story you'll want to read again and again. In addition, you'll explore Fantasy, Fairy Tale, Mythology, Slipstream, Middle-grade Literary, Magical Realism and Urban Fantasy.

From the Back Cover:

Explore the world through a Tapestry of Elemental Tales

Air. Earth. Fire. Metal. Water. These elements ebb then flow as they conquer and transform each other. The transformation brings renewal, development, change, and movement and starts the process anew.

All of life is made up of these essentials. Different cultures assign meaning and interpret the elements in varying ways. When asked to write stories including one or more elements, the eleven authors in this anthology assigned their own creativity to new interpretations in an assortment of genres. In this collection you can:
 
Ride the high seas where one heart breaks (The Sun Shines on the Brave)
  and two others mend (Born in the Sign).

Find yourself on a supposedly deserted island (In the Hiss of the Dark Surf),
  and go on a quest to save our oceans (One World).

Question the justice of life (Cottonwood),
  and save someone you'll never meet (Crystal).

Learn to believe in yourself (Muffled Gold),
  and be careful what you pray for (Washed Clean).

Beware of the greed that can burn you (The Smokehouse on Pigtail Alley),
  and go on a quest to another world (Wind song).

Sink or swim, you've got to give life a whirl (Pearls of Rhyce).
