Fiction is Fun

Fiction is Fun

 

Fiction is fun. You can make it anything you like. You can take a real-life person and change them. You can take a real place and add surprising elements.

I appreciate the Blue Mountain Review for publishing my short story, Walking William. You may recognize some people and places if you are from Anderson, South Carolina. I hope you appreciate the history Anderson offers and some of its ghosts.

In my upcoming novella, Life Close to the Bone (Fall 2023), I apply the same devices and share some of Anderson’s culture, including its mill towns, Crybaby Bridge, and the ghost who roams the old Chiquola Hotel.
