Corrales Writing Group 2013 Anthology
There are six authors to this work. Tom Neiman, Don Reightley, Jim Tritten, Patricia Walkow, Sandi Hoover, and Leon Wiskup. All are members of the Corrales Writing Group. The group was formed in 2012 when several interested people in the charming village of Corrales, New Mexico got together and started to deeply explore the craft of writing with an expert in the discipline. While some members of the group were new to writing, others were more experienced, even already-published. But all had a desire to learn and improve. Since then, the six members of the group have written, critiqued and shared stories, reflections, poetry, plays and essays that are humorous, touching, and inspiring. The entries in the group's first anthology will make the reader laugh, wonder, cry, smile and reminisce.

How does one rate and talk about a book that has six individually talented authors with diverse interests and focus? I dove into the book by not beginning at the front of the book - but by randomly jumping into the middle where I found author Jim Tritten's chapter called "Night Flight to Norway". This kind of got my attention and so that was where I began the process of discovering digesting the whole book. I found it was like reading six very short books but that did not bother me, nor do I think it would anyone else. Each story captivates and entertains in a different fashion. No two authors had the same energy, or point of view. The only thing that ties them all together is the like ability of the authors. The book is certainly a journey which is easy to walk. The stories are just long enough for those times when you want to read something while you are not engaged doing anything or waiting.
I personally explored it by skipping over stories that I would later come back to and explore. The key is to enjoy your own time with this book. In the end, I devoured it in all it’s entirely. Yes, some of the stories stood out for me more so then others - like the first one I read by Tritten but there were none that were bad, or that I did not enjoy or find some valve in. Nice book to have laying around the house for light reading, or for when you are at an airport or on vacation.
