Madison, Alabama (I-Newswire) January 19, 2012 - The soon to be released “If I Had My Way” is an anthology of ten short stories filled with emotion that will captivate readers. For example, the story “Poison Ivy” tells the tale of a human lie detector and the complexities and burden that come with knowing when your loved ones are trying to deceive you. While “Tandrin Drive” takes the reader on a ride through sisterhood, resilience, and betrayal - "I hated that house, but it was the people who lived there that gave me shelter".

Stories like “5 Minutes” speak to the fighter in all of us and our innate, raw will to survive; or the tale entitled "Substitute" that has the reader wondering would a brother really abandon his own flesh and blood in order to maintain his independence? The collection “If I Had My Way” is a rollercoaster ride of hope, betrayal, regret, change, love, and vengeance. The stories will make you think, make you cheer, and at the end of it all, they'll each make you count your own blessings.

Ms. Sledge leaves the reader wondering how each character might change things if they indeed did have their way. How would their stories end, or rather how would their stories have begun in the first place? Each story finds characters that are dealt circumstances that are less than ideal. How do they overcome? Do they overcome? What might they lose in the process? These quickly read dramas will introduce the reader to a dynamic new author with fresh stories to tell from a unique perspective.
