The book Across the Ocean is not just any regular romantic love story. Because many readers often do not specialize in reading specifically only love stories when they read romance books, this story also incorporates various other topics or aspects into its structure in order to keep all kinds of readers entertained and engaged all throughout the tale, no matter what their personal reading preferences might actually happen to be. What that means is actually that the book happens to also include some very interesting and captivating fantasy parts, which can certainly help to grab readers' attention and ensure that they follow every single twist and turn of the story, involving their minds in the plotline and understanding every single aspect and event with a perfect idea of what is happening. The way it is unique and unforgettable is also very noticeable. This is extremely important when it comes to keeping a group of readers entertained by a story, especially a short story, because a short story must fit a lot of meaning and action into a very limited space of only a few hundred words. However, Across the Ocean clearly performs this very well and strives to appeal to all sorts of readers in every way possible. Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.
