So far I’m really enjoying the story — all the characters ring very true. Congratulations!
when will the next episodes be up? i’m hooked
It’s like reading a mystery story without the dead bodies.
This is a great story that leaves me wanting to know more. Each segment ends at the perfect place to keep me hooked. I can’t wait to read more!
The site is very pleasing to the eye and easy to navigate. The photography is exquisite. It is too early to comment on the novelette, but it certainly positions the reader with great speed and I like that. Familiar objects, settings and identifiable human reactions draw the reader in without judgment.
If one was to identify with a negative character too intensely, a respite could be found by taking a visual stroll into nature. As the kids say, “neat.” An exercise such as this is wonderful for me as an aid to reflection and formulation of material presented to the mind. Thank you for including me.
i love “ghost over winter creek” especially! congratulations on the site!
Great idea for those without time to dedicate to a conventional book club.
I like that she is wearing a “fake” fur collar!
Nice. I like things like this. I just spent 45 minutes reading everything on the site!
So far I’ve read Kitty and Joellen. I’ve liked them both. They are perfect for when I am switching between jobs. I just read a snippet or two, and then I move back to the work on my desk. It clears my head. Sort of like the palate cleansers you get in super-fancy restaurants.
i heartily agree with janice that the stories photos, art etc act as a palate cleanser between ‘takes’ – this show called life- more power to you! and thanks i look forward to more….
My cousin just sent me the link to your short memoir, ‘It is a songbird’ and I read
it, and I just wanted to tell you, I think you are a beautiful writer, and your story is
absolutely amazing, and incredibly compelling.
I think your story, and then getting to the other side, despite the adversity you faced, is inspiring and could be helpful to people battling similar situations.
Thanks for sharing your story…

By sheer serendipity I hit on your posting my first day of membership in Publisher’s Marketplace. Take a look at it and laugh!
Our experiences are so similar (yet completely different) that I wonder if we should do something about it. Or not.
Anyway, I had first opened my memoir with the scene of “Rushing from the house to the car stumbling over pillows and clothing and blankets I had dropped in previous trips ” Then I get in the car and the moment you hint at occurs: As I slammed the car door time seemed slower things seemed suddenly unreal. I didn’t even know which way to point the car.”
I had to delete that chapter because I could not get it to work and saved only several paragraphs to the manuscript I have now. But my jaw dropped when I read your opening. WOW. Write back if you wish, I have no status or contacts, but I have a brain. Ciao.
