on one of my all-night, who-knows-how-or-why, coffee fueled internet adventures, i stumbled across an author whom i absolutely adore! Rana Kelly! i found her short story 'witch of the bayou' hidden among the free mini-books (you print them out yourself) at featherproof.com and fell instantly in love. i actually kissed the cover when i finished reading it. nerdy, i know, but absolutely deserved! i won't leak any of the details of the story, but if you're a fan of southern gothic or possess a secret fascination with voodoo, Rana Kelly's story will not merely satisfy, it'll astound. over night, literally, she has become one of my favorite writers. print yourself a copy. seriously. her work is amazing. send fan mail. great art needs to be supported, even if the only support one can offer is a kind word or note of appreciation.
i've always been impressed with writers. it's hard work. i've tried several times to write a short story but after a few weeks of headaches and heartache, i'd re-read what i had written and been tragically disappointed. captivating an audience with printed words is a talent i've not yet been able to hone. maybe one day. but until then, i'm happy to be in the audience. stumbling across great writing, when it happens, is the highlight of my day.

It is being written into a major novel at this time. Rana is awesome.
