I Am A Published Author by Dru Ann Love

This is a short post while I recover from my recent surgery. It’s hard to sit at a desk when you can’t bend your knee or if you do “ouch.”

Anyway, for those who don’t know, Kristopher Zgorski from BOLO Books and I, Dru Ann Love from dru’s book musings, just became published authors. We collaborated on a short story for the crime fiction anthology, Happiness Is A Warm Gun: Crime Fiction Inspired by the Songs of the Beatles edited by Josh Pachter. Our story is “Ticket To Ride” and here is an excerpt:

NOW
Perhaps Lizzy’s recent doctor’s appointments are weighing on us. Whatever the reason, this morning I feel an overwhelming sense that I am losing her, that she is drifting away, and my usual melancholy descends deeper into sadness.

The ancient television on our chipped Formica kitchen countertop flickers into life. Its black-and-white picture rolls, then comes to rest.

“… a memorial will soon be erected to honor the thirteen individuals who lost their lives on that tragic day in 1993. Later in this special edition, we’ll talk with several experts who will explain how a senseless act of violence changed the city of New York….”

I hope you are intrigued as to the rest of the story. If so, you can purchase the anthology from Down & Out Books HERE.

We’ve received some wonderful comments and praises and I sure hope you give our story and the others in the book a read.
