This is my response to the prompt at Friday Fictioneers, a slightly less than 100 word story. It is also my entry for the A-Z Challenge, with C for Closed. Title: Closed Genre: Realistic Fiction After running for over a mile, Meghan reached the store. A flipped-around sign marked Closed. Glass. Ten tile-covered feet. It […]
This is my second post for the A-Z Challenge. For the letter B, I chose Belief. I could be wrong. But I believe we all believe in things. Belief is part of what makes us human. We believe in God, in ourselves, in one another, in empirical science, in cynicism, questions and doubt. So many […]
This is my post for the Insecure Writers Support Group AND the A-Z Challenge. I’m lazy so I’m combining the two! A is for Author is my theme for today. According to the dictionary, an author is a writer – someone who has produced some manner of literary work. (Been there, done that.) In my […]
PHOTO PROMPT © Sandra Crook Here’s my story for Friday Fictioneers. Am lagging again this week, sorry! For more stories, click the froggy: Reluctantly, the weary soul rises from her long slumber, dusting the mist of ignorance from her sleep-encrusted eyes.

Operation Grab-the-Steak Slowly, carefully, Bob lifts his head over the rise, silently taking in the landscape, making a quick survey of the five […]
Congrats to Lori, on her debut release of Lady Thy Name is Trouble, a sword & sorcery epic. Trouble is Tara Triannon’s middle name. As swords for hire, Tara and her sister Laraina thrive on the danger. But a surprise invasion throws them into chaos… and trouble on a whole new level. Pursued by the […]
I’m trying to think of interesting things to post about. It’s Lent here in my little Christian world which is a time for us Christians to think Christiany thoughts.
