Book Review: Color of Hope by Steve Bargdill

Steve Bargdill is one of those folks I follow on Twitter more in the stalking, Tweet-Dropping sense than as a person I trade 140 characters with.

His tweets are funny, he shares my love of pizza and coffee, and he mentions obscure things like:

Edgar Allen Poe born today 1809. AND...it's still National Tea Month.

He also requested readers for his anthology, Color of Hope.

Color of Hope is a collection of poetry and short fiction.  It's an easy read, humorous and sweet at the same time.  The stories are a mix.  There's alien lore, love, frustration with aging parents.  All intersected with poetry.  

It's an interesting mixture and just short enough to read in one sitting.

I enjoyed the poem Winter Footprints the most.  Because I am grappling with my daughter's imminent leave for college, I know what it's like to feign sleeping so I can hold on to the memory of a childhood in the face of adulthood.

This is a great add to your eBook collection.  Not long or difficult to read, this is a book that has me wanting to read more from this author.
