Momentsof revelation and reflection.Moments is so-called because each story is about a moment in time when something significant changes either for the main character, or for the reader.The moments, settings, characters and time periods are all different, ranging from the 18th century to the far future. The writing is highly descriptive, creating the scenes in a short space of time with imagery which is evocative of place, using all the senses.Each moment instigates an unexpected shift in consciousness, understanding or awareness. Some moments are extraordinary, but some are significant only to the psychology of the character, and discovered through their internal dialogue, since most stories are told through the eyes and thoughts of a principal actor.The stories are intentionally short, to add to the impression of how a single moment, and whatever it contains, can change everything. The joy for the reader is in experiencing the shift themselves, either with the character, or through a sudden realization that what one thought was so is actually quite different.These stories do well to be read aloud to others, giving them that pleasurable feeling of being surprised and uplifted.Used to writing poetry, when out and about Anna writes short descriptions of scenes, landscape, appealing juxtapositions of light and shade, colour and form, often in nature, and the feelings they invoke. Sometime later these very short descriptions can become the starting points for stories which suggest themselves to not as finished plans, but by coming into being as she writes... Anna may also not know the end of the story until it happens...and, occasionally, be just as surprised!
