Newest Release!
"Move Magic"
Once again, I'm honored that my short story, "Movie Magic" was selected to appear in Woodneath Press Anthology: Matters of the Heartland. When I saw last March that their next anthology would have a romance theme, you know I found it irresistible. The only problem? What to write! I went through so many ideas, write an extended epilogue to an already completed book, explore contemporary romance or another subgenre I had yet to play around with. I would like to say my creative process took me down a straight path, but I struggled for weeks on what to write. The deadline loomed. How could I not submit to Woodneath Press? The library is my home away from home, my source of joy, and inspiration. A nagging voice wouldn't let me rest, I had to write something. So I stared at my screen, waiting for divine inspiration when a single thought crossed my mind: I hate the movie Titanic. And thus, my muse helped breath life into this delightful new story.
The Story
Yep, that's me reading the story for the launch. It was well received, even with ending on a terrible pun. "Movie Magic" plays around with the what-ifs of meeting a stranger and the instant kismet that makes romance so utterly delightful. They say write what you know and for once I did. The romance aside, everything about working at a movie theater and being forced to see Titanic four times in one month is true. The only real person in the story is my best friend from my theater days - Josh, oh and the first date. But no spoilers, you'll have to read about the date disaster in "Movie Magic". I hope you enjoy a bit of 90s nostalgia, as Melody and David learn about the magic of a movie.
