Another Great A More Perfect Union Review

Noah Willoughby

Author Noah Willoughby reviews Flames and the anthology A More Perfect Union: On AMPU: The anthology is very well-compiled and well-written. Though all stories are fictional, each one has clearly put true-to-life experiences into their stories. The main characters and how they relate to one another and react to the situations around them shows that each author has put a piece of himself into their story. While all the stories are different, they follow the same theme: love is love. The same theme rings true for this whole anthology. I highly recommend this one! ​ Rating: 4.5 stars On Flames: … Read more

I had an insatiable imagination and was always asking “what if?” Writing became an avenue for quenching that thirst, of creating scenarios that were primarily pop culture-based … Read more
