Indie Weekend is my effort to help Indie Authors with marketing. Marketing is probably the biggest task authors have, and if I can help even a little, I’m happy to do it. You can help too by sharing this far and wide with your social media followers. Below please see a description, review, and buy links for Tell Me a Story in 99 Words, a collection of 99-word stories by Annette Rochelle Aben.
BOOK DESCRIPTION
(From the Author on Amazon) “It has been a desire of mine since I was a young person to write stories. I had to start somewhere, so I chose to start by writing very short stories. That bring said, I welcome you to a collection of short stories, very short stories as each of the stories is only 99 words in length. Meet memorable characters. See something of yourself in many of the scenarios. Experience a wide range of emotions. Be inspired to write stories of your own. Return to your favorites and enjoy them again and again.”
BOOK REVIEW (In 99 Words!)
*I couldn’t resist a 99-word book review for a 99-word story collection!
This collection of 99-word flash fiction covers a range of emotions and situations, from fear to loneliness to joy, and more. It proves the point that much can be said in just a few words. I especially enjoyed “A Beginning At The End,” about finding a friend, “A Case of Big Amy,” about a bride getting surprised on her wedding day, and “Celestial Consorts,” about the sun and the moon. Some of these stories will shock and sadden you. Some will make you smile. But they are all 99-word gems for you to explore and find your own favorite.

*If you read the book, please leave reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, as well as anywhere else you review books. Some people feel very daunted by writing a review. Don’t worry. You do not have to write a masterpiece. Just a couple of lines about how the book made you feel will make the author’s day and help the book succeed. The more reviews a book has, the more Amazon will promote it.

Oh, my goodness… thank you for the support, Bonnie! As I think of my books as my children, I am honored you think so highly of this one in particular. <3
You are welcome. It was a great read, and so many different topics. I’m sure everyone will have their personal favorite.
I’m looking into this, Bonnie. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I think it’ll be a nice read.
Yes, there is something in there for everyone!
How exciting! I would love to know what you think of it, Tim!
I’ll let you know, Annette. I’m really slow at getting things done in my old age, though.
Congratulations to Annette on the excellent 99-word review! Sharing to help spread the word.

Thanks for sharing this Liz!
You’re welcome, Bonnie!
It takes a special talent to write a well-rounded tale in so few words, but Annette manages it beautifully in this book. The subject matter was varied and hit home. Remarkable!
I completely agree!
Thanks, Bonnie, and thanks for this post – I should have congratulated you on your beautifully executed review!
Thanks Alex!
Thank you, Alex! <3
What a clever concept! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks! I’m glad you liked the review.
I started out by writing short stories. They are often more challenging to write than longer forms.
Interesting. I haven’t written a novel yet so I’ll have to compare.
A 99-word review was a great idea for Annette’s book. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and kudos to Annette!
Thanks! I thought it was a fun idea.
Thank you, Diana!
