Snippet:
Foreword from Stevie-girl and the Phantom of Crybaby Bridge
(book 3)
The year was 1971 and the time was like that hour between twilight
and full dark, that time when anything is possible. That’s how it was being young, I felt like
the whole world was just waiting for me to blossom, to bloom, or to wither and
fail. And while I was waiting for something
huge to happen . . . life kept on rolling along in fits and starts, never
slowing, always moving. Just like
Stutter Creek, the one that meandered along beneath Crybaby Bridge.
