2008 Apr 27 Stalk or be Stalked Review by Anne Rogers Author of Magic Rainbow www.annerogersbooks.com www.lulu.com/annerogers
I have just finished reading this tense and exciting story by Anastasia. I found it completely enthralling so much so I couldn't put it down until I had finished it, it reallys sucked me in. The idea of being stalked is very scary I know I've experienced it myself. This tale illustrates so well the feelings and thoughts of the person being stalked, it brought back all those feelings to me as I read it. If there is one book you should read this yar this is it, you won't regret it.

2007 Jun 25 Insert:
We got chores galore,
and punished even more.
When those didn’t help her cope,
she dealt out and struck out even fiercer more.
Beatings were had, some quite bad.
The beatings and things that were said,
stuck in my head.
Little did I know, I tucked them all away.
In my heart, an eternity to stay.
Now that I know,
I’m sure it will go.
Talking will open wounds deep within,
some feel just like sins.
Time will tell when they’ll leave my head.
Opening the wounds will make me deal,
only forgiveness will let me heal.
Only then will they leave my heart.
Then, and only then, will I truly heal.
REVIEW:
Anastasia's Mind Fog and Short Stories, is a heart touching collection of poetry, written with journal style momentum. Between the pages lies the loneliness, fear, and thoughts of a woman who thought she was alone in her despair, when in truth there are many people who can relate to her feelings, at some point or another in their lives. Not all of these short stories are downheartening. There are some very cute inscriptions throughout the pages of this book, and I’m sure that everyone who reads it will at some point recognize the moments when they themselves, felt the words.
I have read a lot of poetry, and this is truly unique. Not only are there heart-tugging glimpses into this author’s life, but short stories to keep you entertained. This is a hard write, and the Author did a really great job. Thumbs up to you Anastasia! Keep smiling.

Print: $14.95 Download: $6.00 Anastasia Cassella-Young’s ‘The Rogue Bear’ and ‘Small Blurb’ are based on true stories. A “rogue” bear is when it attacks or attempts to get into a home. ‘Small Blurb’ is based on a true story about a “small blurb” a dead woman received in a NY newspaper after dying on the IRT subway line. ‘The Writer’ is a fictional accounting of the runaway imagination of a writer following the prediction of the immediate future in a painting above his desk. Murder and mayhem ensue. ‘Just Like Grandma’ is about a grandmother protecting her grandchildren from an awful alcoholic father who is abusive to the point that “Grandma” protects the children with a gun and her story of the aftermath of that decision. ‘You’re Supposed to be Scared’ is a great Halloween story about a haunted house and the tour through that haunted house and what happens there. This is a very good read from the wild imagination of a bi-polar surviving writer!
