About six weeks ago I announced right here that a short story I wrote called “When A Bright Star Fades” was slated to appear in the final issue of Dave Zeltserman’s extraordinary e-zine, Hardluck Stories.
I am delighted to tell you that the 30’s Pulp Noir issue of Hardluck Stories is live! Dave Zeltserman, Ed Gorman, and Jean-Pierre Jacquet have pulled together a gorgeously illustrated razzle-dazzle issue filled with the kind of pulp fiction renowned in the 1930s and 1940s. I am astounded and delighted to be included among the dozen writers contributing to an issue that is the ultimate by so many definitions.
Friends, if you think the "good old days" were an easier, simpler time, grab a cup of tea, or a glass of beer, put your feet up and click here. You are about to find out how wrong you are.

Congrats, Terrie! And thanks for the great reading to settle in with this weekend.
As a gambling man myself who enjoys the ponies I really enjoyed the story. Great job!
Terrie,
You write such classic stories and you don't miss a beat in your historical accuracy, your character complexity, your grounded settings and your pace. I just read your story "When a Bright Star Fades," and am in total admiration.
Your talent can't be denied. Your skills are well honed. Your stories are riveting. Thanks for adding to the delight of my day!
Elaine,
You are terrific! Thanks for your kind words. Enjoy!

Travis,
I am doubly pleased that a connoisseur of the racing world finds Bright Star to be enjoyable. I am not a sports enthusiast and yet the two best stories I have ever written involve sports. Bright Star has the horse-racing aspect, and Strike Zone has a baseball aspect. It’s funny how writing a story takes you places you never thought you’d want to go.

Nan,
Aw, shucks, I'm blushing.
I will admit to a passion for history, and that motivates me to be historically accurate.
Thanks for your enthusiam. I am so glad you enjoyed the story.

Loved it, df Terrie. Absolutely loved it.
df Leah,
Thanks so much. I cannot tell you how wonderful it feels to know that my friends and peers are enjoying Bright Star.

&%$@#%* I can't get the link to load! I think all 6 million fans are trying to hit their server at the same time. Grrr.
Anyway, congratulations, Terrie!
Hi Leigh,
Thanks for trying and perhaps the link will work soon. After all, how long can it take six million fans to read a less than 4000 word story? :)
Terrie
Finally! A nice blend of noir and Dick Francis– great job, Terrie!
Thanks, Leigh.
Terrie-I don't have an email for you so forgive me for reminding you here about Friday's Forgotten Books for Kids. If something comes up and you can't do it, just let me know and I won't post this site. Patti
Patti,
I am good to go with Robert Munch's The Paper Bag Princess.
