Shimmer Other Stories
Author: Lori L. Lake

In these tales of hope and loss, lovers and found family, Lori L. Lake has once more given us an amazing slice of life. A frightened woman stumbles through her daily existence, unsure of her place in the world, until she comes into possession of a magic coat? Tee has a problem with her temper, and now that she?s being tested again, will she fai... more »l to curb it again? Kaye Brock has recently been released from prison and doesn?t have a single friend ? until Mrs. Gildecott comes along?

These women and many others, unsettled and adrift and often disillusioned, can?t quite understand how they arrived at their present situations. But whether rejected, afraid to commit, or just misunderstood, even the most hard-bitten are not without some hope in the power of love.

Lori L. Lake?s talent shines like never before in this collection of glittering tales. Sharply rendered, the tone of these stories reflects their title: silver and gray, shimmery and wintery, yet also filled with the shiny hope of summer. These are stories that bear rereading.

~~Praise for SHIMMER & OTHER STORIES~~

"Lake has created distinctive and memorable characters in settings that will linger with readers long after the stories come to their satisfying and hopeful conclusions. Here are five compelling tales of outsiders: women ex-offenders, lesbians, cancer survivors alone with their altered bodies. All bump up against the harsh real world and find salvation in surprising ways, from the supernatural to a former nemesis turned guardian angel."

~Lee Lynch, author of Sweet Creek, Rafferty Street, and many other novels

"In Shimmer and Other Stories, Lori L. Lake serves up a tempting array of treats as her outstanding characters experience the sweetness of true soulmates in Another Stage; handle the sourness of a reproachful town in Paige; admire the tartness of an old lady?s gumption in Take Me Out; savor the tastiness of unsuspected friends in Tsuki, Tsuki; and overthrow the bitterness of discrimination in Shimmer. Sample these delightful morsels. Lake has laid out a feast."

~Nann Dunne, novelist and Editor-in-Chief of JustAboutWrite.com

"The best writers, like the best wines, just get better. Lori L. Lake has always been a master craftsperson, but she gets better every time she steps up to the plate. Her most recent novel, Snow Moon Rising, garnered a long list of well-deserved awards. Now we have this splendid collection of short stories, bold and beautiful, love stories in the broadest, most universal sense and, like those fine wines, to be savored in their complexity, not just short term but over the years as well. These are stories you'll want to read and read again."

~Victor Banis, author of Longhorns, Come This Way, and 140 other novels
