I asked fellow Curses anthology contributors to share some things about themselves prior to publication and those generous enough to do so will be appearing here for the next week or so.
Each entry gives a taste of their contribution, a little about them, how to contact them, how their story came about, and definitely a link to Curses (which you should purchase because it would make each and every one of us happy.
you do want to make us happy, don’t you?
i mean, considering what we wrote, you want us to know you’re a good person, right?).
Today and tomorrow it’s my turn.
What fun, huh?
And now, my It’s a Man’s World:
“Where are you going?”
Susan’s face softened but she looked away.
All the women in the neighborhood were dressed in what we use to call “Easter Sunday” clothes; light dresses, bright, Spring colors of sky blues and yellows and whites, some with flower prints with big roses or tulips or daffodils or morning glories or black-eyed susans and all with long, lush green vines wrapping around them. All of them wearing wide-brimmed sun hats, many with scarves tying their hats around their chins. A few wore sunglasses. All had nice big purses, lots of different colors, but most of them white, white cloth gloves covering their hands and all of them in either tasteful heels or flats. Nobody wore stilettos or CFMs of any kind.
How the story came about:
Sometimes the overwhelming ignorance of half our race staggers me.
Especially in the current US political climate in which women’s rights are being pushed back to 1950s standards (shades of The Handmaid’s Tale, right?)
