Review Review Quotes"In the Sequel to the first book, the author delivers on her previous work. She blends true stories with some magical embellishments and some witty humor and gives us greatly entertaining stories that span the breadth of human experience. Sad, strange, or even happy, each one is full of life and showcases the vastness of human interactions. Eleven stories are contained within and the writing is good. Each chapter is headed off with a quote from some famous people that set the mood for the ensuing story. While short, the stories all hit the point and I am feeling a little bereft with some, wishing there was more. This is a good problem to have with books though, so it's a bonus. The Baby maker was a sadder story, but I really liked Dancing in the Void.""Mostly True II: Episodes" is a compilation of short stories written by Arlene N Cohen. The book presents a fascinating mixture of magical realism and events that may ring a bell. The author narrates with great ability a variety of stories that are funny, ironic, and satirical. A good construction and development of characters is what makes a book outstanding and this one is an excellent example of this.Magical realism is one of my favourite genres but as a reader, it is not easy to find it frequently or well developed. This is not the case. The writer has built fantastic events and circumstances that captured my attention and imagination and made me read without stopping. I really loved these stories." About the Author There are 2 books in the Mostly True Series: Mostly True: Short Stories and Mostly True II: Episodes. These are collections of outrageous stories based on ultra real experiences. I have lived a life punctuated by acute moments of disbelief and lived to tell about them. A touch of magical realism and satire shows the events in more depth. I write books for both children and adults. My first book, Stories on the Move: Integrating Literature and Movement with Children from Infants to Age 14, is a compilation of programs that I did as an Artist-in-the-Schools Dancing Storyteller, the highlight of my life for 30 years. The book is still in print and available on Amazon. 1,500 copies have been sold internationally to Teachers, Librarians, and Parents who use it to develop all aspects of their children's development, particularly literacy skills and movement agility. I have just published a series called Literacy on the Move,
