Tales2Inspire ~ The Garnet Collection: Stories in Feathers and Fur - Softcover

In Tales2Inspire you will be treated to heartwarming stories from animal/people connections to stories of amazing friendships, loyalty and love between animals of different species. Each story in this book was written by a winner of the Tales2Inspire global, annual writers' contest, anonymously selected by a jury of accomplished authors. Although Tales2Inspire books are often compared to the "Chicken Soup For the Soul" series, T2I books offer two distinctive features that set them apart: Each story includes original photographs to enhance the reader's experience, and each book is gift sized to keep pace with our contemporary, fast paced life styles. The Garnet Collection is filled with stories of lovable cats and kittens, tales of loyalty between service dogs and their owners, and even some fascinating tales of feathered friends: Canadian geese who offer a model of fidelity, the miracle of a lost cockatiel, the inexplicable recovery of a mortally ill horse, a persistently curious bunny and an equally curious blue heron. Finally, this book shares several inspiring stories of the bonding of animals of different species. In the words of Dr. Bernie Siegel, Animals are teachers and healers while we have much to learn. Bravo to the authors of the stories in this Garnet Collection, for opening our hearts and minds to the sanctity of all life. The Garnet was selected as the gem to represent this set of stories for a special reason: The garnet is the gemstone symbolizing protective energy, commitment, honesty, hope and faith. As you read the stories in this book, you will recognize these inspiring traits in our fur and feathered friends.

Inspiring Stories from Winning Authors From Across the Globe: Tales2Inspire ™was a kornel of an idea that I initiated as an "Authors Helping Authors" project/contest, that has grown to proportions even I didn't dare to envision. It is no secret that today many talented writers never are given a chance - simply because they don't have that proven track record. Tales2Inspire gives talented writers a chance to perfect their writing skills, build some name recognition for themselves while helping them on their individual roads to discovery. Each inspiring story accepted into this competition is vetted by three other authors, who give that tale a numeric score and at least one suggestion for improvement. Winners and Finalists are selected based on the aggregate of those three scores. The author then can use those suggestions (or not) to edit their stories in readiness for publication. Top scoring stories get published in print and e-book formats. But it doesn't stop there. Tales2Inspire brings many additional platform building opportunities to these authors - too many to mention here. Watch the video: What's In It For You at the tales2inspire.com website.
