Where is the year going? I can’t keep up. SIGH!!! But the end of the year means that the holidays are upon us.

I’ve been away at Fresh Fiction’s Readers & ‘ritas this past weekend. It was a great time. I met some amazing readers and hobnobbed with some of my favorite authors. It’s good to be home. 😀 This week Jenna Da Sie gave us a task: Write a 500 word or less flash fiction using the words TURKEY, RAIN, and TRAMPOLINE. Here we go… . She watched Madeline bounce on the Trampoline for as long as she could stand the cold. How that child wasn’t frozen with the cold rain, Lily would never know. It was as if the outdoors didn’t bother … Continue reading →
