Fab and Fun stories

This collection of stories is not to be missed. A romp around the world about curious and intriguing people. The characters will stick in your mind like the rather scary and funny guy who eats remorras.

You should read this!

Sky over El Nido is an amazing collection of short stories,not only because the writing by C.M.

Mayo won the Flannery O'Connor Award!

Truly melodic stories with a Mexican undertone.

C.M. Mayo has the unique voice that enables you to not only envision the setting but the emotional swings and feelings of the characters. She writes of characters we wish we knew for pieces of them have been in our lives. Sky over El Nido is a perfect gift for the lover of the writing craft. Each character jumps up and is alive in the first paragraph. You wish you could revisit them sometime again in a longer story. Simply marvelous.
