MY REVIEW:
Furthermore is a collection of short stories written by some great authors.  The only author that I knew of  when I started reading this book was Amber  Garr.  I enjoyed reading her story Discovery.  It tells how Leila and Terez first met.  Leila has been searching the city looking for a real psychic.  She has meet plenty of phonies but has an immediate connection with Terez and knows she is the real deal.  A nice short story for Touching Evil fans.

People Change by Rebekah Campbell was probably my favorite.  Dennis is telling his son Eric about the first time he meet his mother, Emily.  Emily has left a long time ago and Eric still misses her and ask questions all the time.  The meeting between Dennis and Emily is hilarious and ends with an emergency room visit.  It is bittersweet though, knowing the outcome.  I have to read more by this wonderful author.

Surprise Visitor, also by Rebekah Campbell tells us the story of  Eric and Emily.  Eric is surprising Emily at home after she has been suspended from school.  She thought she would be bored to tears but Eric has other things in mind.

A wonderful anthology by some fantastic authors.  All proceeds from the sell of this book go to cancer research and support.  I usually don't read anthologies but this is for such a good cause.  This book is well worth reading.  It gives you a glimpse into the author's other books.  A must read!
