A Note from Emma Mitchell:
As the blurb tells us, The Stars Will Shine Again is a multi-genre collection of short stories compiled to raise money for our armed forces and every penny made from the sales of both the digital and paperback copies will be donated to the charity Help for Heroes. Covid has made fundraising a difficult job for everyone, so it’s an honour to able to do something like this and I’m thankful to everyone involved. With huge thanks going once again to Amanda Horan for her support and fabulous cover design. You can find her at Let’s Get Booked.
I’ve picked the best of the submissions to bring you a thrilling book which is perfect for dipping into at lunchtime or snuggling up with on a cold winter’s night. I have been completely blown away by the support from the writing and blogging community, especially the authors who submitted stories and bloggers who have been so generous with their time to help advertise and spread the word.
There isn’t a person in the country who hasn’t benefited from the sacrifices our troops, past and present, have made for us and they all deserve our thanks.
It has been an honour working on these stories, and I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I have.
What did I think?
What a cracking little anthology! There are lots of charity anthologies around at the moment and there's no easier or better way to support charities than by buying a book. Help for Heroes is already a charity I support so it was my absolute pleasure to read and review this wonderful collection.
This book is filled with superb short stories, written by authors you may know and some names you may recognise from the book blogging community. Each and every story is of amazingly high quality and I couldn't pick a favourite out from among them, although I have picked out a few authors to add to my watch list.
It's quite a quick read at only 261 pages, and you can dip in and out of it as the mood takes you or read it cover to cover in one sitting. However you choose to read it, I can guarantee that you will enjoy every minute of it.
I really must applaud Emma Mitchell for giving up some of her valuable time to organise and edit this fabulous collection. With every penny made from the sale of each book being donated to such a worthy cause as Help for Heroes, I really can't recommend this book highly enough.
Many thanks to Emma Mitchell for sending me a digital ARC to read and review; this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
