Menagerie - by Diamond Valley Writers Guild (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Animals are an integral part of the world we live in. Some share our homes as welcomed guests. Others as unwanted intruders. Still others coexist in the wild, separate yet connected at such deep levels that we can't help but pause whenever they're encountered.

This eclectic compilation celebrates animals through stories, poems, and musings drawn from the creative wellspring of profound experiences, personal memories, and pure imagination.

Review Quotes

"MENAGERIE is a delight! Stories and poems about animals told from so many unique and insightful perspectives. Each is a gem and collectively they are a treasure trove! Highly recommended!"

- JONATHAN MABERRY, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF RED EMPIRE AND NECROTEK

"An eclectic menagerie of tales and poetry. Some will bring you to tears, while others will leave you with a heart filed with joy. It's time to explore."

- LISA DIANE KASTNER, AUTHOR, EDITOR, AND FOUNDER OF RUNNING WILD, LL

"It's wonderful to see a writing group that not only encourages its writers, it provides an opportunity for them to showcase their work for others to see. And as a poet, I'm impressed that there are 14 poems in this collection, each one about a different part of the menagerie. I especially appreciated Blessed Mercenary. And Roommates made me smile. Well done!"

- C. H. LINDSAY, POET, WRITER, BOOK LOVER'
