"Sharp, funny and slightly
scary"
This is a great collection of short stories. Sharp, funny and very often just
a little bit scary, Deb Sheldon delves past everyday events into the dark recesses
of our minds. It's always interesting to see what's in there, although I'm
sure glad I don't have to live there all the time! If you like incisive, witty
and well-written stories, this is the book for you.

'All The Little Things that We Lose' is the sort of book that I dream of reading:
clear, sharp writing, and telling portraits of people faced with loss, and
change, and challenges as they try to make sense of their lives. The writing
rewards considered rereading, and it is an exemplary work from a rising and
vital talent.
- Phillip A. Ellis, author
of The Flayed Man: and Other Poems, editor of AustralianReader.com
These well written stories tinged with humour and
strong emotional tugs are a great read ... the stories
develop quickly with intrigue, drama and a sense of mystery
ensuring the reader's continued interest. I highly recommend
Deborah's book and congratulate her and the production
team responsible for its publication.

"Powerful & Provocative Insight into Everyday
Life"
It is an honour to review Deborah Sheldon's, `All The Little Things That We lose'
a selection of 30 short stories. A highly talented storyteller and keen observer
of life, Sheldon's latest work focuses on everyday life in suburban Australia.
In each of the superbly crafted stories, she shows the reader everyday situations
faced by ordinary Australians. Sheldon does a remarkable job writing convincingly
in the voice of men, women and children. As a reader my emotions were on high
alert as some of the stories had tragic outcomes---which is true-life.
I thoroughly enjoyed `All The Little Things That We lose', and I am sure that
the stories will have an extended effect. Wonderful book which I highly recommend
to all.
