The short story The Forget-Me-Nots by Ginger Simpson is a delightful story of a woman named Sarah who, while going through her mother’s things after her death, finds a keepsake called The Forget-Me-Not with her mother’s name, a date and a man’s name she does not recognize. She embarks on a journey to find out more about this keepsake.
This is one of the better shorts I have read in a long time. It has a well written plot, believable characters and a wonderful ending. It isn’t like many of today’s short stories where you find something missing like a plot or character development. If you need a small break from a long day and want a book with a feel good ending, The-Forget-Me-Nots is a keepsake of a story.

The Locket by Ginger Simpson
The Locket by Ginger Simpson centers around a locket that seems to cause people to murder. The story starts in 1940 with a woman giving it to a priest after she killed someone and the story follows the locket through the years. Can a simple locket cause all these women to kill or is it just a coincidence?
I am a big fan of Ginger Simpson and I am surprised to find a different type of book from her than her romances. I have to say she shows with The Locket that she can write just about any genre. I found this to be as enjoyable as or maybe more than her other books. She definitely has talent.

Beside Myself by Ginger Simpson
Beside Myself by Ginger Simpson is a cute little story about a woman named Cynthia Freitas meets cop Alex Carlyle sparks fly in more then one way. Together they try to catch a kidnapper/murderer. Will they find the perp that are killing the women that look like Cynthia?
At first I thought this was going to be a “normal” romance. But it was definitely out of the ordinary. I don’t want to give it away but believe me when I say sparks fly in more than one way. The way that Mrs. Simpson brings the characters together with a sense of humor is good. I also like that there was no sex scenes is wonderful as she made Cynthia a woman who had moral which you not find in most romances. Beside Myself would make a good read on a rainy day.

Shortcomings by Ginger Simpson
Shortcomings by Ginger Simpson is about teenager Cindy Johnson who has walks with a limp because her leg being 2 inches bigger than the other. Because of the teasing she gets from school, she has a low self-esteem.
Things start changing for her when Cory Neil ask her to tutor him in math. Cory notice her and not the limp. Now how can Cory prove to Cindy that he likes her.
Ms. Simpson, in her book Shortcoming, shows the result of someone being teased for something she has no control over. As someone that had been teased all her formative years, I too know how it feels and give Kudos to Ms. Simpson for writing about this sensitive subject.

Embezzled Love by Ginger Simpson
Based on a true story, “Embezzled Love” by Ginger Simpson shows you the story of Cassie…a woman who yearns for someone to love her. She tries an internet dating site and meets a smooth talking cowboy named Evan. Despite her family’s objections she allows Evan to move in with her and start a business with her. Follow the love story as Cassie learns that not everyone is as they seem.
I found this story to be an engaging story and the characters very believable. In this high tech age we need a reminder that not everybody is good and decent and we need to have our guard up in the faceless world of the internet.
