Passing Downby A. LaFaye published in the spring issue of Chiron Review http://www.chironreview.com/
“I’m not some used car salesman you can bargain with,
Muriel.” Edna pointed the knife, balancing her sister’s left eye
perched on the tip.

question?” Muriel ranked arguments right up there with
colonoscopies. And ever since

“She loved the beauty and the grace of the good old days, but not the rules that kept kids from talking and women from lifting heavy objects if they wanted to. Raleia was beginning to think it would be better to invent a whole new time period where she could pull things from then and now to make the perfect place.”

Hello Kit,You have an amazing reading list there. I've been thinking I really do need to add more cultural texts on my reading list. One of the things on my pile of things to read The Rising Tide which is a non-fiction book on the 1927 flood in Arkansas. It's an amazing chapter in Arkansas's history. I'd love to find a story there for a novel. I'm out and about speaking at conferences quite a lot these days and always open to doing more.

Hey Alexandria,How's it going? Hope you're well. We finally have an MFA at CSUSB, applications being taken in the fall, for admittance in fall of 09.
Keep writing.

Hey, Alexandria,How are you? I was tickled to see your request. I have to admit I haven't done much with this site recently. I finally finished the Mahabharata, and I'm now reading a book about the British Raj in India from the Indian perspective. I also recently started E.L. Doctorow's The Water Works.
Have you been to other workshops/festivals/booktalks? Are you working on a novel at the moment?
Hope all is well.
Kit
