Poetry From The Shelves – A Tribute To Danielle Steel

by

Many times, as books pass through my hands, I have thought how interesting it might be to write a story using only book titles.  There are SO MANY interesting? fascinating? intriguing? just plain odd? titles available! 
For my first attempt, I used only one author, Danielle Steel – she has over 80 titles currently available.  I shuffled through the titles, let them fall together, shifted several, and good, bad or indifferent, here is what I came up with.
Family Album
Legacy
Granny Dan
Daddy
A Good Woman
Answered Prayers
Sisters    –    Friends Forever
Wanderlust
Dating Game
Toxic Bachelors
Changes
Irresistible Forces    –    The Klone and I
The Kiss
Season of Passion
No Greater Love
The Ring
Matters of the Heart
Impossible    –    Secrets
Mixed Blessings
Heartbeat
Leap of Faith
The Wedding
The Promise    –    Now and Forever
The Gift
Miracle
