Overview

There once was the importance of counting all the trees everywhere, Ink with Pen that needed to write all the important things, an inchworm who explored the world, a tomato that was enthralled with a red salad, spices who had a complicated time making something by their own, a cherry tree who had cherries in love with her to no end and would do anything for her, a grumpy rabbit that wanted to always be left alone to no avail, a snail who caught the interest of most around in his sneaky ways, an elderly honest turtle whose community had high expectations of him, a Bangkok cockroach who had lots to say about cockroach life, a hungry snake withering away with mental and physical anguish to then transform, a cat who chose to live half of its life in a Harlem elevator, creatures by the name of X-Vasters that survived off the most debatable element, a lizard who was always concerned with how she looked and a dragon's entire life geared by what could be considered the most minor of differences.
In this compilation of short stories by Abigail Jacklyn Behrends many worlds are explored giving way to the fictional voices and thoughts of animals, bugs, insects, plants, creatures and other things during their plights in life. These 15 short stories are fun, upbeat and make us question what conversations they have in their own language and what exactly does go through the minds of all those non-humans out there during the journeys of their lives?
These 15 short stories are followed by one bonus poem provided to celebrate the lives of all the super women around the world.

About the Author

Abigail Jacklyn Behrends is a United States citizen who was born and raised in the state of Wisconsin. She obtained her BA degrees in cultural anthropology and psychology, with a certificate in women studies, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2002. Late in her undergraduate career she attended an experiential learning study abroad program called Semester at Sea, boarding a ship in the spring of 2001 that traveled to 12 different countries on four continents. During this time she discovered her love for photography, and as a result her photography work has been displayed at locations such as the National Press Club; the Andy Warhol Museum; Laguna Beach, CA; and independent solo photography shows at galleries in both her home state and the state of Minnesota. Her current photography shows are a visual anthropological examination focusing on women’s empowerment in Asia. One of her photographs has also been published in a book titled Changing Perspective: The Semester at Sea Experience.

She has worked for the state of South Dakota and the state of Wisconsin, focusing on archaeology. In addition, her love for photography and working with artifacts brought her to become a photography researcher, co-leading a team in the archiving of approximately 15,000 personal family photos, documents, and items for the Robert F. Kennedy family. Some of the photos were used in the five Emmy-nominated documentary film Ethel.

Abigail Jacklyn Behrends has lived in Wisconsin, Minnesota, California, New York, Vermont, South Dakota, and Arkansas while in the USA, and Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam while abroad. While living in Vermont, she obtained her MA degree at SIT Graduate Institute called Intercultural Service, Leadership, and Management. She did her MA thesis work with the Karen Women’s Organization in Thailand, then subsequently wrote the thesis, “An Examination of How Refugee Resettlement Affects the Experiences of Karen Female Refugees that Remain on the Thai/Burma Border,” which has been published electronically at the SIT Graduate Institute Library.

She is a LGBTQ rights advocate and currently pushing to have the LGBTQI Equality Act passed.

Book One of Short Stories: A Compilation by Abigail Jacklyn Behrends is her first short story book, and third published fiction book. She has also written the science fiction 2192, the first of a trilogy and the fantasy fiction In the Sea of Seas, the first of a duology.
