Carla Doria – Fiction Author

I’ve never been much of reading short stories. I prefer the longer format of a novel. But there are a lot of people out there that prefer the short format because they know they can easy commit to readiing something short. To me personally, I associated that with people that don’t like to read that much. But I’ve changed my mind lately and I can see the appeal of reading short stories now. Therefore, I understand better the appeal of writing short stories.

I decided to do a test with short story for children and publish it to Amazon here.

The story is about a little llama that decides to travel to the big city to dream high. There’s some narrative about his journey but also about the issues that a llama has to go through. The end is a reflection of taking things literal and how sometimes people use metaphoras and forget the literal meaning of phrases.

It’s a children’s book because it’s nice, sweat and simple. There is no complex prose or vocabulary and there are some llama facts included for learning.

I hope you enjoy it .
