Watermelon cutting around Auntie's backyard reunion table was a neighborhood event in my day. Surrounded by yard swings for adults, and plenty of nearby stoops, steps, and stumps for kids, Uncle Bull plunged a butcher knife into the sweaty green rind. SCHUNK!

This week, I went shopping at the local mall (dubbed "The Small" by my citified grandchildren), and I soon found myself distracted by displays of beautiful prom gowns.

Facebook often shocks me, but nothing like today with the picture of a crushed car and my grandson, Eli, on a stretcher.  Before I read he'd escaped serious injury, I knew it.

Author-Publisher Contract Enclosed

5/2/2018

Nothing makes my heart skip a beat like receiving an envelope covered with stickers announcing “Author-Publisher Contract Enclosed.” Gulp! Yippee!

And then to see the title of my story collection, Skating on the Septic Tank, typed officially on the contract. It’s happening! Happened?

Picture
All in one book, my stories published in Georgia Connector Magazine, including my South
Carolina Carrie McCray award winner, and a sprinkling that were in other publications. A dream fulfilled, prodded into being by my friend Paige Cummings.

Not only am I thrilled, I’m proud to have accomplished such a body of work. Where did time go? Skimming through my stories answers that question. Along with the changing world, I see myself and my siblings growing up, my own children with their children, and my parents aging.

Name an emotion – love, joy, fear, jealousy – even a little pride and prejudice. You’ll find it in Skating on the Septic Tank. Also, humor. That gets us through all the rest.

Soon I’ll have a concise answer when people ask, “Where can I read your stories?” Their next question will be “when?” I’m shooting for Christmas 2018. Fingers crossed.

Dear Reader,
     Had I known Act on the Heart would strike such a chord with readers, I would have included questions for discussion at the end. I also did not realize how much I would enjoy speaking with readers about writing the book and creating the characters. Many facets of the story lend themselves to group discussion and analysis.
     If you would like to schedule me to speak to your group, please click on the Contact tab here on my website, or email me at ggathens@gmail.com.
Happy reading to all!
Genie

I rarely say OMG, but "O.M.G." I'm in Dec issue of R.E.A.D.E.R.'S. D.I.G.E.S.T. on p. 72. Didn't know and almost fell off the toilet. (isn't that where we all read that little magazine) Must've sent it eons ago because don't remember doing it. Mama would be SO proud.
