  • She Called Him Rabboni (Flash Fiction)

    She Called Him Rabboni (Flash Fiction)

    This was originally written for Easter, but I wanted to share my first piece of Biblical fiction! It was based on the passage in John where Mary Magdalene finds Jesus’s tomb empty. It’s longer than the 500 words (about 1000 words) that I’ve been keeping most of my other flash fiction to. I hope you…

  • The Long Lost Friend (Flash Fiction)

    The Long Lost Friend (Flash Fiction)

    This flash fiction comes from a prompt; “Reveal in the last sentence that one of the characters does not exist physically.” I hope that the message of loving the body that God gave you is in this story. We may not look the same as we did at 16, 22, or 35, but we are…

  • Free Fall (Flash Fiction)

    Free Fall (Flash Fiction)

    Once again another flash fiction Friday! This story is meant to motivate those who write to keep writing, even when faced with some unsupportive people. As always, this piece hovers around 500 words! I’ve always liked the word ‘cascade.’ What’s not to like? It sounds just like a waterfall. The ‘ca-’ is the water launching…

  • Lumio’s Possession (Flash Fiction)

    Lumio’s Possession (Flash Fiction)

    This is a flash fiction that I have written and wanted to share here! My page will start to take on some more personal posts of this nature in the future. Most of the pieces that I’ll share will be less than 500 words and are meant as a quick fun read. I hope you…

  • The Thrill of Death (Flash Fiction)

    The Thrill of Death (Flash Fiction)

    This flash fiction has a 1920’s feeling to it probably because I’ve been watching a lot of Peaky Blinders recently. (If you notice, the man’s name is Tom… oops!) I smooth my fingers across the suit. It’s a beautiful navy color with the thinnest white pinstripes. It’ll look so handsome on Tom – if he…

  • Belle by Sarah Price (Book Review)

    Belle by Sarah Price (Book Review)

    “To most townsfolk, he’s known simply as The Beast. Annabelle Beiler has little interest in gossip, but she’s heard about Adam Herschberger’s scars and his gruff, solitary ways. Though he sounds like a character from one of Belle’s treasured books, the man is real and, it turns out, just as unreasonable as the rumors claim.…

  • The Moment (Flash Fiction)

    The Moment (Flash Fiction)

    This story was based off a prompt (a character must fall in love in the last sentence), which led me to be incredibly sappy about my daughter’s birth. The Moment that I had been waiting for, with so much excitement and nerves, had finally come. This is based on actual and true events. I’ve been…
