Some Characters Just Won’t Leave

Here’s where JOSIE AND VIC first started. A short story written decades ago. So thrilled that Barbara Bos and Women Writers, Women’s Books has published my essay, “Some Characters Just Won’t Leave.” ❤️🙏🏼

“Like many writers of fiction, I become attached to the characters I create and am often reluctant to let them go. Then another story calls to me and new characters begin to take shape, claiming my full attention and replacing my former favorites. Josie and Vic were another matter. Instead of fading away into yellowed pages, they stayed with me for decades—decades!—pushing their way into my thoughts and demanding that their story continue.”
