First, Jim’s inspiring story, Dragonflies and the Great Blue Heron

Jim’s winning story, Dragonflies and the Great Blue Heron,  was published in Tales2Inspire ~ The Emerald Collection in 2012. A perfect fit for a collection of Beyond Coincidence stories, it is about one of life’s greatest tragedies — love lost prematurely through death — and about the triumph of finding true love later in life.  This deeply moving story proves there can be a silver lining after a devastating emotional storm . . . if you believe.

Next, Jim’s humorous story, The Pantomime Hunter

On a lighter note, Jim’s second winning story, The Pantomime Hunter, is the humorous story of a boy who fulfills his English teacher’s  assignment by acting out a day of duck hunting for his  class. Hunting days can be long and tedious, but the necessities of life still need to be attended to. You know, when you gotta go, you gotta go. His hysterical pantomime of the duck hunter’s quandary leaves his classmates in stitches. The Pantomime Hunter is now published in Tales2Inspire ~ The Crystal Collection – Stories that Tickle the Funny Bone. Read more about how Kids Will Be Kids and don’t miss the humorous video.

Last but not least . . .

Aunt Mary’s Birthday, published in Tales2Inspire ~ The Ruby Collection, is another story likely to touch your heart. Don’t miss this Gift of Compassion  charmer. Click here to read more.
