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.

Some are that of the people in her community. Depicted in her own words, from her point of view. The details and their intricacies are garnered from the same people who come to her stoop to vent or just to tell their tales for advice, as Miss Bauble is considered very wise. Miss Bauble, while very inquisitive, cares a whole lot and maybe sometimes, even too much. Welcome, and have a seat on the stoop and help her pick some beans. You may vent or you may listen, but there is always a lesson on Miss Baubles stoop.

The Witches on BellaRow Street by ElleJNior

Four African-American witches on the run from a Warlock detective, a jilted lover, and a ridiculous super clingy cat named Mister Purr. *** It's Mardi Gras weekend in New Orleans, and instead of celebrating with deep-fried beignets and dancing, Yanni finds herself in a dark alley with her three 'sisters'-staring down at a lifeless body. Shocked and scared, they realize something's off about this death. The body is twisted in a way that's not normal, and Yanni can't shake the feeling that dark magic is involved. With one sister panicking, another making sarcastic comments, and the eldest sister, Aunt BeeBee, trying to stay calm, Yanni's life takes a turn she never expected. The dead man's identity remains a mystery, and the sisters know one thing for sure: they can't let anyone find out. The four of them are witches, each representing one of the four elements, bound by magic and a sisterhood. But when it comes to covering up a murder, will they stick together or fall apart? Yanni's got a big decision to make. Will she go along with Aunt BeeBee's plan to cover it up, or will she risk everything to do what's right? With Mardi Gras chaos swirling around them, the sisters' bond is tested as they navigate dark magic, secrets, and their own fears. One thing's for sure-nothing in New Orleans will ever be the same.
