I am new to the world of short story writing, but loving every minute of it. So far, each story I've written has involved some aspect of my prior-to-now life. This story is no exception. It tells -- in a much shortened form! -- about an earlier marriage to a man who was briefly famous. Part of the inspiration to create a story about that time came from an actual visit by a real Black Witch Moth early this summer.
Professionally, I have been a Physician Assistant whose specialty became working with acutely and severely ill women. It was immensely rewarding work, and will no doubt, at some point in the future, be the source of additional short stories.
