About the author

Irma Fritz grew up in a German town whose name you wouldn’t be able to pronounce. She studied writing at California State University at Los Angeles and worked at Hollywood PR agencies. As a young press agent, she witnessed James Stewart’s grand entrance on an elephant at an L.A. Zoo fundraiser; shared an Orange Julius with Neil Diamond at a Hollywood carwash, and turned down Alex Trebek’s dinner invitation.

Irma bicycled across the U.S. and lived in the Canadian bush country. Her serendipitous life journey took her to Seattle where a friend tricked her into a date with the handsome, young man who became her husband.

A writer of novels and short stories, Irma’s latest novel, “When There Was No Moon,” won first place in the Pacific Northwest Writers Association Unpublished Literary Novel Contest and Nancy Pearl Finalist Best Book Literary or Mainstream.

Reviews

[Sandra Nachlinger · Rating 5 out of 5]

Football hero and cheerleader fall in love, marry, and live happily ever after? NOT in this story! “Big J” Jackson never quite outgrows his college jock mentality, and he eventually pays the price for his self-absorption. All it takes to bring him down is a skinny girl named Betty. I can’t say much more without spoilers!

This entertaining short story by Irma Fritz is the latest in a series – The Angel of Death. I’ve read two of the five stories so far, and I’m looking forward to more.
