		ROCKING CHAIR AND AFTERNOON TALES This is an anthology of stories set in Mississippi , published by the Gulf Coast Writers Association. I drew on the experiences of living in Greenwood , Mississippi for many years to come up with the story, Ghosts. I call this one ‘creative non-fiction', because most of it is real—just re-arranged in time. And I was really the mom, not the young narrator. The ghost, however, was real—very real! Rocking Chair and Afternoon Tales is available from www.gcwriters.org

Coming Soon:

In the fourth anthology in the series, “Elements of Life”, Birth, Life, and Death, you will be able to read my stories:

The Jar Girl - In ancient China, a group of performers, freaks, and wild animals wind their way across the country. By the side of the road, they find a baby. She is destined to become a Jar Girl, and save two lives.

Death Comes to Shadow Cove - All the people in the old village of Shadow Cove are strange. Everyone has some sort of special ‘magic' talent, which they try to keep hidden from the ‘newcomers' who have moved in from the modern world. But sometimes secrets are hard to keep, especially when Mafia hit men are after you!

The fifth in the ‘Elements' series has stories of First Love, The Engagement, and The Wedding. "Elements of Love" includes:

Granny Gets Engaged - The whole family is upset when widowed Granny begins dating an old flame. When they tell her ‘anyone but him', she takes them at his word and is seen all over town with a man thirty years her junior. Of course, she's now dressing like she's thirty years younger.

Johnny Falls in Love - When an enchanted toad shows up, everyone blames Johnny, who denies turning the school bully into a toad to give to his sweetheart. When the enchantment is lifted, there is a man they have never seen before. Are there more people like them somewhere?

BROUSSARD COURT  

Madame Badeau, black owner of a curio shop full of Hoodoo spells, strange objects, scents, and magic dies, leaving her niece, who believes she is Caucasian, Madame’s only living heir. Addie must live at Broussard Court for a year to inherit Madame’s property. She’s left trying to figure out all the family secrets of a great-aunt she has never heard of, in a city she’s never visited. Will she also inherit Madame’s reputation?

Addie’s story is woven together with those of the other people whom the spirits have brought to Broussard Court for love and protection: the abused wife: the single mother: the naïve young woman. As Addie finds love with Parker, a computer geek who is skeptical of everything mystical, the other women also find love with men who are drawn to the special place that is Broussard Court.

I do not have stories in the first anthology being offered, Elements of the Soul, but many of my friends do, and there is a lot of entertaining reading in those pages. I encourage you to order your copy at this site.

Thanks for checking out my site.
