From Spark to Story: Vol. 2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798898900120)

In this second volume of From Spark to Story, Tina Harden dives beneath the surface to explore the raw edges of survival, sacrifice, and the stubborn flicker of hope. These longer, emotionally charged stories span continents and eras-from deserts scorched by cartel violence to the mist-wrapped highlands of Tasmania and the haunting depths beneath the sea.

Within these pages, readers will encounter women who endure, men who reckon with their pasts, and spirits that refuse to fade. Pillars of Strength tests the limits of courage and vengeance; The Tree and the Tarn roots legacy in love and loss; Dorian the Ink Drinker blurs the line between obsession and art; The Passage to Eternity sails into the unknown; Beneath the Waves reveals what lies in the heart of myth; and Maritime Sand confronts the price of progress.

Told with Harden's trademark mix of intensity, humanity, and cinematic detail, From Spark to Story - Volume II delivers a collection that lingers long after the final page. Tina offers up strong female characters, and adds some Southern humor, with a bit of supernatural stories peppered in. Some of the stories in Vol. 2 lean toward speculative fiction to entertain those with an open mind.
