Stepping Through The Frame: Anthology of Gems - Anthology of Seasons

The purpose of an Anthology is to provide the potential reader with easy access to a wide range of literary works on a given theme. This Anthology provides a platform for 'Twenty' Authors to write a piece that is close to their heart in the criteria of TIME, PLACE, EXPERIENCE, REFLECTION. [Seasons]
Welcome to Anthology 2021 The reason the Author Sondra Roberts-Stott planned and created this Anthology was to encourage all "writers" in her life, ones she has known for many years, or just a few weeks, to experience publishing a piece from their hidden away top drawer, or a piece freshly written for this project. It's all about opportunity and experience.

"It is my desire is to publish the author's short story, or a poem or two. I believe that if you have taken time to write, it is already an unpolished rare 'GEM' waiting for the world to read or just for your bookshelf. I am so pleased to be able to put these special gems together and collate a beautiful collection of works for all the authors in my life.
I hope you enjoy this production."
Book one of four. so, step through the frame and enjoy!
Inside this book, as you walk gently, stepping through Time, to a Place, maybe with something precious, you will discover a feast of quirky unfolding stories based on the author's personality and creativity. Whether it be a hope or a Memory, each piece is from someone's heart and that person becomes an Author through this experience. Some have already published, or written pieces and some contributors are writing publicly for the first time. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey as you settle into the exciting journey of this adventure. Just as a boat drifts happily through water, yet to be explored, a river of experience and 'Joy' is waiting to tempt your senses to explore between these pages. Each Author owns their copyright for the piece they have contributed. A big thank you to all the courageous contributors.
This is the first book in a series of four seasons.
