Postcards #1- New beginnings

Sometimes starting over is the best thing to do. I have so much to learn about what an author is "supposed" to do to help readers find her and her work. I can do some of that. I can't trade it for quality. I think I've been trying to appeal to everyone and trying every genre and writing every kind of story that comes to mind and, frankly, it's become ridiculous. So I'm going to narrow my focus.

I know what I enjoy writing the most. What flows and sounds the most natural and that's Rural/Country Fiction. Rural Gothic, if you will. Not full-on horror, necessarily, but sometimes. And not all monsters, but sometimes. (People make monsters look like pets. Plenty of material there.) So, let's begin again. If you like my short story collections, the stories with the dark country flavor or more of a folk horror twang, then you're in the right place.

(There will be future Idlebelle stories, they won't disappear, but they will likely show up in the winter when I have more down time here at home. There are still people to meet and things to learn in Idlebelle.)

Back to the story,
