People Like Them

What a great way to start the new year! I have been informed by the editor of Open Road Review, a literary journal in New Deli, India, that my fiction piece, People Like Them, has been accepted for publication.

This is the first story I've written in epistolary form. It didn't start out that way; as I got into it, I realized that a letter from Britanna Bridgewater to her cousin Lillian Kirby informing her of a murder/suicide in their little southern town was the best way to present the tragic news of people they both knew.

People Like Them will appear in their February issue.

Wishing You a Wonderful 2013

 

Take the train along with me.

Merry Christmas!

Never a Christmas morning,
Never the old year ends,
But someone thinks of someone,
Old days, old times,
Old friends.

 

 

The Tragedy at Sandy Hook

My heart is breaking for the families of the victims of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, and I'm praying that God gives them the strength to get through those dark days, weeks, months and years ahead.        

A Gift From Above

A great-granddaughter is a gift from above,

one to cherish and to love.

 

Advice From A Sage

 

 

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the

things that you didn't do than the ones you did do. 

So throw off the bowlines.

Sail away from the safe harbor.

Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore. Dream. Discover.
