Published on by dgkaye

Welcome to my Sunday Book Review. Today I’m reviewing Stevie Turner’s #newrelease – Trio: Three Short Stories geared toward self-realization, aging, and beyond death.

Blurb:

The Art Class: When Mark takes up nude modelling for an art class to earn extra money, he is unprepared for the life changing events which follow.

The Birthday Party: Billy Perkins makes a surprise announcement at his 90th birthday party.

The Journey: A journey through death to the spirit world, by one who knows.

My 5 Star Review:

I always enjoy Turner’s books and stories, and this one didn’t disappoint. In these three very different stories, the author takes us into life-changing, and awareness situations, with a touch of paranormal in the last story.

In the Art Class, Mark takes on a second job to help makes ends meet at home with his girlfriend Marie. He becomes a nude model for an art class. The class is made up of a group of senior women who wish to hone their artistic skills (as well as rather enjoy the eye-candy), except one odd duck male, Paul, who brings a ‘situation’ to Mark’s unremarkable life that will take him into realms he himself never knew he was even interested in.

In The Birthday Party, we get to meet 90 years old Billy and his family who plan his 90th party for him at his retirement home. There, we get to know the characters, as well, we learn there’s always someone evil ready to take advantage of the elderly. Billy’s surprise announcement has heads spinning. But sorry, I can’t share about it or what happens consequently, no spoilers here, but a good read.

The Journey, a sweet paranormal story about a funeral home goodbye of another world. Mother is on display in the viewing room, and a faithful daughter by her side discovers Mum’s spirit is communicating with her.

I always enjoy this author’s books as her stories always encompass the human condition as an underlying theme. In the first story, it’s about discovery and self-realization. In the second story, the vulnerability of seniors having to trust and rely on others, and in the third, makes us wonder if there is more to life in the next world.
