What Reviewers are Saying About The Mosaic Collection Anthologies:

Each is a picture of God’s grace working in the hearts of hurting people through individual writing styles.

Each author has her own voice, yet somehow they all fit perfectly together.

The stories are just the right length to relax with at the end of a long day.

I love these Mosaic author anthologies. These are stories about real people with real problems and emotions.

Such beautifully written, inspirational short stories with themes of grace, forgiveness, love, and peace.

Uplifting stories of ordinary people dealing with their faith and life’s struggles.

Thank you to all the Mosaic Collection authors for giving us more lovely stories to remind us that we will never be alone as God is always with us.

Each of these faith-based fiction stories in Sounds Like a Plan is uniquely and beautifully written with believable characters sustained by the amazing grace of God. Memorable, touching, inspiring, and a true reading pleasure. May you be blessed by this collection.

My Thoughts:

The Mosaic Collection has published several anthologies, each with five or more novellas by a variety of authors. I haven’t read all of them, but have really enjoyed the ones I have read. For that reason, when they were asking for reviewers for their new summer 2024 anthology, I signed up. I ended up really liking all five of the novellas in Sounds Like a Plan, and I will definitely be interested in reading more of these collections!

If you enjoy collections of novellas with characters who feel real, with light or no romance, try out Sounds Like a Plan.  I am looking forward to reading the next anthology put out by the Mosaic Collection.
