It will always be good once you discover a thing that isn’t just educational however interesting. Outstanding.

On my wishlist:

1. The next Khaled Hosseini. But I get that these things take time.
2. A short story collection that disturbs me as much as Stephen King’s Full Dark, No Stars.
3. There are a ton of books that I wish could be first time reads for me again, but that would involve a manipulation of time and space that even writers can’t manage.
4. And along the lines of fantasy, I wouldn’t mind seeing one of my own, post-edit, on the shelves.

I am not much of a historical fiction fan (couldn’t finish some that came recommended by friends, including Pearl Earring.) but I am willing to try new ones. I’ve discovered how often I say I don’t like a category of something, only to discover something that takes my breath away in that very same category.

Hmmm. Mystery of the orange. Time for a short story contest?

I will be querying you sometime this summer. Good luck with the Mystery of the Orange. Best,

I love the title and the imagination she draws from for her work.
