It is with great pleasure I can now announce that The Storyteller Speaks is available on Amazon.
The Storyteller Speaks ebook is available on Amazon UK or Amazon US or any other Amazon outlet.
The paperback will be published in January 2018.
About the Book
It only takes one event to change a life. What is that action, decision, occurrence? Whose life is affected? Changed forever?
In this eclectic mix of 21 short stories, flash fiction and poetry the pendulum swings between first love and murder, from soul-destroying grief to reconciliation. The tales veer from the sweet satisfaction of revenge to new beginnings, from heart-breaking miscarriages of justice to heart-warming Christmas misadventure.
One common thread binds them all; the belief that there is no such thing as an ordinary life; they’re all extraordinary.
Open your hearts and minds as The Storyteller Speaks.

Dear Annika
congratulations for your book. We all keep our fingers crossed that it will sell well. Siri and Selma are just working on their fairy magic that you will attract lots of readers and that they will be touched by your stories.
As an author I really feel at home at your blog. Thank you!
Lots of love from the little village next the big sea
Klausbernd and the rest of The Fab Four of Cley
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
We wish you a wonderful pre-Christmas time. We are just baking Christmas cookies – yummy 🙂
Dear Klausbernd, thank you wishing much for your wonderful comment! 😀😀 I smile when reading it and love the thought of the fairy magic from Siri and Selma spreading some of their magic for my book…bless them! With their help I can’t see how it cannot sell well!! ❤️ Wow! I’m so happy and proud you feel at home on my blog. I had a look at your book and am very impressed and am tempted to read it, however it’s been years since I’ve read a full length novel in German! I hope it is going well for you. Yummy…I hope you all had a special time with the baking…my mother, son and I made pepperkakor yesterday and as always I ate far too many during the process! But they are so tasty!! Love to you all there in Clay; indeed a small village next to the big sea! I’ve thought often of coming up in the last couple of crazy months…I’ve longed for the peace and stillness at times. Hopefully not too far into the New Year! God Jul / Frohes Weinachten to you all. Xxxx
Dear Annika
several books of mine were for sale on the Swedish marked (it took my agents ages to get them published there). Now there is only one book of mine for sale in Sweden, but I suppose you are not looking for this kind of book, it’s a dictionary of dream symbols
“Drömsymboler – utforska ditt undermedvetna” (Wahlströms, Stockholm, 1st ed. 2007)
I have to admit I rather have my books published in Central European countries, China and Russia. They pay the author much better than English and Swedish publishers.
Yes, our dear Bookfayries are so sweet sending their finest fairie dust to all their friends and they blessed all my books as well – it helped!
Oh dear, oh dear, we ate much too much Christmas cookies as well and right now I am nibbling all the time. Our beloved Dina says “It’s Christmas, it’s allowed”.
Have a GREAT holiday season! God Jul and lots of love to all your family
Klausbernd 🙂
So happy for you Annika and I am excited to read it. It’s now on my Kindle! All the best! ❤ 🙂
Bless you, Carol!! 😀❤️ You’re a gem. I really hope you enjoy it. Hugs xx
Great news, Annika! Congratulations and all the best for your new book from the four of us.
Dina & co xxxx
Thank you all so very much!! ❤️ I can’t quite belive this is real…my lifelong dream now a reality! Hugs xxxxx

Congratulations Annika.

Mike
Mike, over the moon and then some!!😀😀 The reality of my book being out there on Amazon is slowly sinking in and it’s a moment I thought wouldn’t arrive for quite a while – I can’t thank David and Sally enough for their quick and professional help; such wonderful warm and supportive people.

Reblogged this on Smorgasbord – Variety is the spice of life and commented:
Annika Perry is delighted to announce that her debut book, a collection of 21 short stories, flash fiction and poetry is now available on Amazon..The Storyteller Speaks…please head over and help get the book on its way..
Sally, thank you so much for sharing the launch of my debut book on your blog…that’s brilliant!! It is a most exciting day…and one you and David made possible in just over a week! Astonishing! Warmest thanks 😀❤️
You were a model author Annika which makes it all much easier.. and delighted to have been part of it.. hugs xx♥
Sally, thank you so much for saying so… that means a lot. ❤️
Well done, Annika, and the book is a triumph. I’ve read it through, emotions going haywire, and I can say that it deserves every success. There isn’t much more I can say, but a review is on Amazon.
Peter, wow! 😀 Thank you so much! I see you also spotted the book was out on amazon yesterday! Thank you for buying it and reviewing so fast – most warmly appreciated! Wow! Emotions going haywire!! Hope these have calmed now! 😀
I was just by the computer when your wonderful announcement popped up.
It is just beautiful and I am so happy for you and for us who get to read it.
I must admit I spotted it on Amazon last night and have been reading. Wow again, I am
enthralled. Every Story carries so much depth, humour, love and at times tragedy.
The overall so far is the deep care for all characters and how you create environments with such seemingly easy observations.
I wish you and your beautiful book great success.
hugs
miriam
P.s. Review will follow😊
Miriam, thank you so much for your wonderful comment! ❤️ Yes, I worked yesterday on putting the book on Amazon, always little snags but all ironed out with the help of David!
Wow! Your comments about the book are overwhelming – I have tears in my eyes!! Thank you so much…I want everyone to be touched, moved by my stories…
Thank you also For your well wishes and also for writing a review of the book once you’ve read it -that will be so welcome and appreciated. They really are the lifeline for all writers and make s huge difference when new readers come to search for books. Hugs xx❤️😀🦋
