$25 #Giveaway Fireflies at 3 am by Danni Thomas @XpressoTours Ends 12.18

December 13, 2020 By Mary 40 Comments



Fireflies at 3 am
Danni Thomas
Publication date: December 12th 2020
Genres: Poetry

‘Fireflies at 3 am’ brings a landmark new genre to the world of literature. It’s a book with the flow of poetry but the ebb of short stories – rightfully called “Shoetry”.

This creation takes you to the roots of humanity – stripping back the veneers of life, society and interaction to see people and their ways in an entirely new light.

Author Bio:

As a child, he was known to cook up stories to save his little ass or to pass his exams. Then he grew up a bit, only in age and size, and went to college. There, he wrote plays, won a few awards and was told to try his luck in advertising. Some kind soul, who had limited knowledge about advertising, told him that this field was all about wearing jeans to work and late-night parties. He needed no further persuasion, and without losing any more time, got into advertising.

Over the last 18 years, he worked at some of the biggest advertising agencies in the world, made some memorable ads, won international recognition for his work, and learned how to manage acid reflux. Life was OK, but he decided to complicate it by writing a book.

People nowadays avoid him like the plague lest he ask them to review his work. His children have started studying harder and his wife has taken up baking so that they can escape his nagging requests, every now and then, to read what he’s written. But all said and done, none of that has dampened his spirits. Currently, he is looking forward to selling over a million copies and is busy convincing each of his friends to buy more than 3 copies of the book. Sucker.

      Just happened to go through the responses, with one eye shut. Was a li’l nervous to know what the reactions would be. To say the least, I am overwhelmed by the kind words. Thanks for all your love and light.

    The poem about the poor dog made me cry this morning- Lord, as if there’s not enough misery to think on as it is.

    Based on the two samples included, this book is going to not only make me think and see the world differently, but will also make me cry. So powerful in so few words.

    Poetry is a great way to digest a lot of emotion with very few words. This excerpt really highlights that.
