A Duck Quacks
Short Story Collection
|
After years of sitting on the sidelines, quacking plot twists and character maps into her ear, Drake, The Duck Muse, insisted that author Diana Kathryn take dictation for a collection of thirteen short stories of his own creation. He’s a tremendously creative duck, but feathers and flippers make for difficult typing. Diana Kathryn agreed, and “A Duck Quacks” is the end result of their unusual collaboration.

Diverse and Engaging Stories.
"I haven't read many short stories since I was a teenager, but I picked up A Duck Quacks and was excited to dive right in! I was pleasantly surprised at the content, style, and especially the stories with a twist! Here are some of my favorites: Chasing the Enemy, Fire and Water, Reunion Redux, Business as usual, and The Holiday Market, but don't take my word for it; read it!" ~Angela Crandall 
"Laughs and things to make you think. I enjoyed each story. Five Stars!"

A fun read.
"This is a collection of stories in a variety of styles. Some are funny parody/spoof. A couple will make you think with a different look at a familiar tale, and there are a couple that are just sweet stories. This is not literary fiction; this is fiction for your enjoyment. Read a story on your lunch break to escape the office!" ~Joan H. Young 
"This is a wonderful collection of short stories! From one story to the next, it is a whole new world of creativity. I read the entire book in one sitting. I honestly couldn't put it down. Every story is original and entertaining. I had many smiles on my face with each conclusion. This is a book that I will absolutely be reading again!" ~Francesca M.
