f you are in need of some entertainment over the Christmas season, “Moonbeams from The Soul: A Collection of Fourteen Provocative Short Stories” by local author Fay Knowles might just do the trick. From wild temptations to dangerous decisions, it’s an eclectic assortment of thought-provoking tales. Many of Fay’s short stories have appeared in the UK’s The Lady magazine. As New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman once said: “Short stories are tiny windows into other worlds and other minds and other dreams. They are journeys you can make to the far side of the universe and still be back in time for dinner.” Some excerpts from the short stories in “Moonbeams from the Soul”: “Although she expected it, the sight of the devil’s mask made her gasp. The man had a whistle in his mouth and carried cowbells and maracas. She led the man across the room....” The Merry Widow. “I knew it was a mistake. I don’t know why I did it. Well, actually, I do know why. I’m no different from the other girls in my graduating class of that year....” - Love Made Me Do It. “She wore shorts and a sleeveless top. Her hair gleamed in the sunshine. To him, at that moment, she looked even more beautiful in the daytime than she had in the moonlight....” Queen Bee. “The moles stared at me from some kind of solution in the jar! They looked like shrivelled raisons. I couldn’t drink any more coffee!” The Palms Fay has lived in the Bahamas since 1965, apart from two stints in the UK with her family. She is married to Long Islander Erskine Knowles. In addition to “Moonbeams”, she has written two novels, a collection of romantic short stories, a writer’s guide and a mini-memoir, all available on Amazon as e-books and in paperback. She is currently working on her third novel, which is Book 3 in her “Buchanan Mystery Romance Series”. Check her out on her blog, fayknowles.blogspot.com
