Under the Mango Tree: 101 Tales (4) by Dawnnbooks

Anthology of flash fiction based on a 100 prompts challenge with each story being 500 words or less. ISBN : 978-976-656-428-5 Written in response to a 100 Stories Challenge, UNDER THE MANGO TREE: 101 TALES is a collection of short stories. They range impressively from tributes to fathers to Caribbean Mythology to life on other planets to Vampires and Christmas. Yet somehow the Saint Lucian and at times Caribbean links run insistently through the stories. For example, it helps to know that the 758 number that manifests in so many sneaky ways, is the telephone area code for Saint Lucia. It warms the heart to know that in the future, the Caribbean Federation of Nations becomes a reality, even if it's in a short story. An entertaining read for all ages.

Moments: A BWWM Short Story Collection by StephenEgner

A collection of romantic shorts featuring black women and white men from various walks of life; everything from awkward high school confessions to married couples spending free time together. All stories are clean (if a little sappy at times), and focus on dialogue and character interaction over cheap gimmicks. If you're looking for classy, engaging snippets of everyday life between chocolate and vanilla, you've found a good thing.
