Reader Reviews
Wow! What a great book! I met these guys at the AZ Book Fest and took a chance on their book, and boy, was I pleased! I passed it along to my wife, who passed it on to her sister, who passed it on to her husband. I hope to see something else from this group soon. I especially enjoyed the horror section.
Ranked 5 ***** by A reader, reader Reviews at Barnes & Noble
This is an anthology put together by the Writers Round Table Phoenix. I just lent my copy to my cousin. It's a great read, because it has something for everyone. Contemporary, historical, verse, Sci-fi, horror, and inspirational.

Sonoran Mirage is a great bedtime reader; the stories are all quite short, so it's perfect for getting in a quick read just before lights out.
