Writing on a Coke and a Prayer

My name is LM Long, and I'm a wife and mother to three very spirited little girls, and a crazy husband.  Ideally I'd spend every moment curled up on a rainy afternoon with an LM Montgomery novel in one hand, and a plate of Pecan Sandies in the other.  Unfortunately life, and the laws of nature, get in the way of those dreams.  I have always loved to write and tell a good story.  There is nothing more fun than watching the reaction to something I have said.  If I thought I was funny, I might have gone into comedy- but instead I became a regular old writer.  I hope you enjoy the world I've created, and please drop me a line or two.  There's nothing I love better than feedback.

Founder

[image error]


My great aunt was a racist.


How's that for family history?


Then a week before she was going to die, we discovered she was still alive.


I was thrilled.  There's nothing like a living dead person to bring a family together.


Especially when she's a hoarder with no air conditioning, and decides to die in the middle of a Southern California summer.


Really and truly thrilled.


I was the one to discover the first letter, "Aryan Princess to Cannibals."


The photograph of my half-starved relatives smiling proudly into the camera, building a colony in the Amazon.  It would have been quite the sensation in the 1940's.


The idea that it could have survived, even more sensational.


Founder is loosely based on a true story and contains mature content, but no crude language or gratuitous sex.  Recommended for ages 14 and up.
