At Ease in The MacGuffin

“At Ease,” inspired by a story my mom told about my grandmother cooking in her slip in the heat of summer, is now available in the Spring 2018 issue of The MacGuffin! You can pick up a copy here. 

This story won the Charles McCorkle Hauser Prize from the Chautauqua Literary Arts Friends in 2016. Here are the judges comments from that contest: 

“At Ease” is a poignant story about how one day can change so many lives forever. It evokes memories using stunning, vivid details that recognize how something seemingly small looms large in our minds.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, once you’ve read this story!
