Got a lovely review for my short story snowfall from Readers Favourite:
Snowfall is a beautiful but sad story at the same time. It tackles a serious issue and marks a turning point in a child’s life. The harsh reality that Lucy has to face is covered with a metaphor that complements the innocent perspective of a child, which Gallie did exceptionally well in his narrative. This is a fast, engaging read and the plot is well thought out. The harsh reality highlighted through Snowfall can’t be ignored at all and will linger in readers’ minds for quite some time. Her mother’s wish to leave the pain behind stumbled upon a painful obstacle, but the epilogue in the end gives readers hope and a glimpse of a better life for little Lucy. On the whole, this is a thought-provoking novella from Gallie. - Lit Amri, Readers Favourite.

Snowfall
SYNOPSIS:
When six year old Lucy wakes up in a barren landscape layered with pristine snow she thinks she is dreaming. However when she is joined by Malcom the panther with reflective eyebrow's and a cheetah with bright green fur, Lucy realizes that there is more to this dream than she can imagine. As her body begins to slip into illness she has to muster all her courage to remember how she landed in such a place and unravel the mystery of what happened to her mother. As her new friends try to get her back home to safety, Lucy must try to survive a dream that quickly becomes a nightmare.
REVIEWS:
The author does a unique and very good job of presenting the events in this story from a child's perspective. The story is worth reading to experience the manner in which he does that. Lucy is a character you can easily care about. Her narration is so like that of a child's that you feel like the POV is first person when actually the story is in 3rd person, which I preferred. There is enough foreshadowing to alert readers to the possibility of a less-than-happy ending, but there are some beautiful events that help make the conclusion more comforting. - Kathy (Amazon.com Customer)
