humor, fantasy, and bittersweet stories to read and savor. This is a book you will
return to again and again.” ~ Gloria Watts, Northamptonshire, England
“Turn a page of “Don’t Be Impatient…Read a Short Story! and read about sky-
diving, turn another, and you’re in the old west. Read about a woman collapsed on
the street and the rocker who writes a song about her, or share a woman’s terror
of an approaching tornado churning across the prairie. Raymond Grant’s
compassionate, humorous voice rings through tales as varied as life is, and he
does it each time with admirable style.” ~ Nonnie Augustine , Florida , U.S.A. ,
prize-winning poet and short story writer

in time to the Garden of Eden, then, venture far into the future. Grant touches on
energy conservation, relationships, ecology, love, and death. You'll find dark
fiction, ghost stories, and discover the magic of creation. Learn the secrets of life
as they told to a grateful grandson, and enjoy the surprising little-known benefits of
Brussel sprouts – a true smorgasbord. Grab a fork, pull up a chair, and enjoy the
feast!” ~ Ginger Hamilton Caudill, West Virginia, U.S.A., Award Winning

“Don’t Be Impatient…Read a Short Story contains a delectable array of tasty
treats that should more than satisfy literary flash fiction fans. What’s more, you can
read any story in under five minutes. I was so entertained by the first two stories I
read, I paid to publish them in my magazine. By the time I finished the book, I
found myself addicted. I hope Ray Grant won’t make us wait too long for his next
book of short fiction.” ~ Michael A. Kechula, Arizona , U.S.A. , Owner, Flash

“Don't be Impatient... Read a Short Story! That's good advice. Ray Grant has
written a wonderful collection of stories that are short enough to read even if you
have only a few minutes. Open this book to any page, and you'll find a complete
story, full and finished, that is imaginative and memorable. Grant tells a tale in just
a few paragraphs, and he does it with skill and insight, along with liberal doses of
wit and wisdom. His book will entertain and inspire you. It will make you laugh and
make you think. So stop for a minute or two and read a short story. You’ll be glad

a liberal sprinkling of moon dust and marmalade! There's something here for
everyone--especially the time-challenged reader who wants a fresh, entertaining,
and often contrary look at the world around us." ~ Chick Lang: Fiction Editor
