Lorna Faith Interviews Her Main Character, Annaveta Travotsky

It’s been a while since I’ve had my next visitor here. Now that I think about it, she never actually guest-posted here; I just had a book spotlight of her novel, Answering Annaveta. If you missed that post, you can find it here. I’m so glad to finally introduce you to her and let you hear […]

Like Good? Like Free? How About Both?

Ever notice how sometimes a deal seems too good to be true? Like when you see something that’s free, but you wonder why. You think it must not be any good. Or do you sometimes see something you really want, but you’re priced out of it. You wonder why the really good stuff is unaffordable. […]

What Billy Joel and Albert Camus Meant

I’m a huge Billy Joel fan. (Yes, I’m showing my age. I don’t care. He’s awesome.) I could give you a list of my favorite songs of his, but that list would be way too long. Instead, I want to focus on just one. Briefly. “The Stranger.” In a moment… I’m not much of a French […]

Thanksgiving Gratitude

All that said, it is time for another installment of fiction. (All installments can be found on the Freebies page.) This First Friday Fiction Feature (#FFFF) is all about Thanksgiving, and I could think of no better way to pay homage to the holiday than by writing something in the spirit of the iconic "Over the River" by Lydia Maria Child. So, without further ado, my tribute, with a Western Pennsylvanian flair...

The Big Dog and the Little Cat

Daddy asked me to tell you about myself. When I was a little kitten, I was wandering all alone outside. I was scared. I don't remember if I was born outside or if somebody decided they didn't want me. I was too little to remember.

I do remember that I was hungry. It was hard to find food. I saw other cats chase birds and squirrels, but I didn't know how to catch them.

One day when I was exploring the Big Forest, I smelled food. Continue Reading →

Ghost Hunting and Haunted Houses

our host told us a phantom had been spotted occasionally on the third floor. Nothing much appeared to be known about this ghost, but there was a photograph someone had snapped hanging in the second-floor hallway.

Our host told us the spirit was visible in the photo, so my husband and I checked it out. I wasn’t expecting a lot, but was surprised to see the image of a woman in the bottom right-hand corner. Continue Reading →
