February 2005 launched my third book, Collection II. It is the second series in my collected works of short stories. My first book signing was held at McNally Robinson downtown here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This current collection plus all of my other works are locally sold here as well as in other quality internet booksellers. Please see www.barbaraannamarjanovic.com for further information.
In April 2003, I have published my first book, a collection of short stories for all to enjoy. The book is currently being sold at: iuniverse.com, amazon.com, amazon.ca, amazon.uk, bn.com, walmart.com and various other sites. It is 68 pages in length and makes a great read for short trips.
In October 2003, I published my first full-length novel, "Pawn: A Novel". This one was also published with iUniverse and is available on their website for purchase in paperback, hardcover and e-book format. It is 226 pages in length, and I hope that you will enjoy it. As each project comes to my mind, I feel that I am getting better at putting the whole story together, and making transitions through the chapters, hopefully, flawless. Here's to many more novels to come where I increase my art and you benefit from my work, my energy, and my original plots!
Collection II - By Barbara Anna Marjanovic
Synopsis
Everything seemed perfectly normal to Marg and Jack on that lovely morning when they were doing their spring-cleaning—until Jack emerged from the attic with a mysterious stack of papers.
There was nothing out of the ordinary with the stack of papers, except that they were neatly bound, exactly like a manuscript with a heavier bond white front and back cover. The front cover had a rectangular opening on the upper end of it. Peaking out of the hole was the following words, all in a large, bold Arial type font:
Collection II
When Marg gets over the initial shock of finding yet another set of papers in her home, she and Jack decide that once again, Jack will take care of everything.
The result—Collection II. Take a journey with Marg and Jack through this collection of short stories, filled with tales of vampires and dragons, a housewife who decides that enough is enough, and a ghost seeking revenge. These are just a few of the stories that author Barbara Anna Marjanovic has used to create a literary treasure in which the unbelievable somehow becomes believable.
