Description:

Please join us for a reading and signing of Transfer Please by Asha J. Watson. Asha will take you on a poetic ride about people in common places. 

Book Synopsis:
Transfer Please is literally a ‘pocket book’ packed with 22 thought provoking poetic short stories. This book is fun to read, and it's the perfect size to place in your pocket/purse on your next train ride (or anywhere). It will spark your imagination and inspire you to be more observant of your own surroundings. These stories are fragments of stories
from the author's imagination, they mimic lives that could possibly be riding the train next to you in Anywhere, USA. Get on board, and enjoy the ride!
