Over the years that I’ve been writing and seeking publication, lots of people have given me encouragement and support. It’s a long road from first line to published book and y’all have stuck with me, asking me how things are going and telling me you can hardly wait to read my books. I can’t tell you how much that means to me! My agent is diligently submitting my books and getting requests for full manuscripts. Several editors have championed them, but the books haven’t made it through at their publisher’s Acquisition meetings yet. And you, my family, friends, and fans are left still waiting to read what I write.
Therefore, as my gift to you for your love and encouragement, I’m going to be posting some of my short stories here on my blog in serial form. By serial, I mean I’ll post part of the story each week, short enough that you could read it over breakfast (eating cereal, if you want!). In the first story, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” you’ll meet George Leroy Marlin, a man who would rather go fishing than go to work. But when he gets caught fishing without a license one too many times, he finds himself in jail with a choice to make: tell the truth to the judge (and himself) or break a promise to his little girl. A tall order for a man given to fish stories!
Can a tale set in the county lock-up make you laugh? Tune in on Wednesdays to find out!
