Like Birds in the Rain by Marge Simon
Praise for Like Birds in the Rain

"Like Birds in the Rain presents a stunning series of literary character studies and poetic flash fictions that are remarkably colorful, slyly cagey, and certainly one of a kind. From twists of dark irony to eruptions of spontaneous wonder, these slices of life cut to the marrow. Simon, a masterful visual artist, always brings a painter's eyes to her fiction and her poetry. In this outstanding new collection, she dapples her brush across an emotional canvas to reveal an interior landscape unlike anything she has gifted us with before."  --Michael Arnzen, author of 900 Jolts

"Marge Simon's work exemplifies the natural journey of a woman who never falsely separates states of thinking and passion, whether it be in fiction, poetry, or art. Like Birds in the Rain runs a gamut of emotions understood through tragedy and revelation. Simon creates spirits you can feel, as only one who has faced both horror and wonder can."  --Charlee Jacob, author of Dread in the Beast and Sineater

"Marge Simon's Like Birds in the Rain whispers dream-like songs. Characters and stories knit back and forth, creating a haunting journey into tomorrow. Simon has fashioned a new form of art as only a writer who is also an artist can, weaving story lines and images in a future where the helpless gain power through her words and their anger."  --Linda D. Addison, Bram Stoker Award Winner.

"A powerful volume from the queen of weird flash, Marge Simon, Like Birds in the Rain gives us page after page of searing images, shivery plot nuance, and heart-jarring turns of phrase. These stories will haunt your waking dreams. Buy one for yourself, and another as a Valentine's present for your love-or a Halloween treat for someone whose heart you'd like to jolt."   --Mary A. Turzillo, Nebula Award author of "Mars Is No Place for Children"

"Writer-poet-artist Marge Simon prose delves into the human psyche like a surgeon's scalpel, flaying away at artifice and disguise until the bloody core of truth lies exposed, fragile as a sparrow's beating heart....By turns devastating and uplifting, Like Birds in the Rain is a volume of dark magic written on razor's edge." --J. L. Comeau, Creature Feature
