I plan to write more stories about people on their way to work. For many people, it's one of the few opportunities they have to be alone.

Cheers,
Piper :)

New Short Story

Revisit Mathilda Dupre and her "gift." As she describes it: "I can’t predict the future or winning lottery numbers, I can’t read palms, and I sure can’t talk to the dead. My Na’Nan, as I called her, declared on her deathbed that almost everyone has the brain capacity to sense and understand things beyond the normal realm, but few people open themselves up to it. She said she’d always known that I could tap this potential because she noticed how I saw beneath the surface"...

Bookscover2cover.com published my two-part story about identity and the intrigue that Mathilda follows when she encounters imposters:
