One could actually include all the tags above (except historical) when describing the tale, but acclaimed horror author Susan May was gracious enough to have reviewed, saying: "This has to be one of the best horror stories I've read in a long time. I'm a hor Read more of this blog post »

Of course I like it...I wrote it! This tale of a special friendship is an excerpt from a love story of a couple who keep a pact. It was produced separately, as a short story, and is tribute to the friend who inspired the story of the fly. |

"A nice short story. Inspiration and guidance sometimes come in the oddest creatures, in this case, a fly."

"With a flowing, gentle prose, a story unfolds that is sweet and reverent. A kind miner, with a matter-of-fact way about him, teaches us that all things can be enjoyed, and to pay attention to even the things you believe to be insignificant. I loved t"

“Nozy Cat lifted one sleepy eyelid, and his marble blue eye glared at her for interrupting his sacred nap. He wore a yellow collar with little red stars printed on it. His second eyelid also opened, and he gave them his irritated blue-eyed glare.”

“Quote is taken from Chapter 1:
A decade ago when Isabel’s husband Max had died, they’d moved in together and merged their possessions. Neither sister brought any fussy teapots, canaries, sachets, or doilies, but lots of other stuff had to either stay or go. Looking at the lime green armchair gave Alma the willies. Her suggestion to slipcover it in a more subdued color had garnered Isabel’s frosty stare, and Alma had dropped the matter.”
