Selfless Acts Are Rarely Recognized - Except by Those Who Appreciate Them the Most

Read Jaye Frances | Writer in the Substack appAvailable for iOS and AndroidGet the app Photo by Melissa Askew on UnsplashIn the neighborhood of my youth, Halloween was strictly for children. 

In small towns and rural areas, there were few, if any, Halloween parties for adults. 

It was simply a time for kids, costumes, and collecting candy from the neighbors. And in my eight years or so of going house-to-house in search of the cherished nugget-sized Baby Ruth or the equally prized popcorn ball, the ...

This past weekend I found myself on the floor of my closet surrounded by piles of shoes, purses, and other no-longer-treasured articles of clothing.

I was in the sorting stage of gathering donations when I saw them — a pair of emerald green high heels I snagged a few years ago at our local community’s “Clothes Closet” event.

I remember it well.

My friends and I prepared for “shoppin...

Enjoy this excerpt from Reunion - Book Two of the World Without Love suspense thriller series …

It came to me slowly . . . I was no longer in the water.

Although I was fairly certain the mattress underneath me was real, I needed to touch something solid, to confirm this wasn’t another hallucination. I stopped myself just in time.

Until I was sure of the situation, I would remain dead-still — my eyes closed, listening for the subtle draw of someone’s breath, the crack ...

Printed Books Offer a Deeper Connection — and More Meaningful Experience

Photo by Lenin Estrada on UnsplashA few years ago, there were predictions suggesting the printed, physical book would soon go the direction of the dinosaur.

The growing popularity of eBooks had many authors wondering if they should even consider the option of releasing a printed format.
