Priestess of Secrets

By Deborah L. Fruchey

Priestess of Secrets is a collection of unique voices: the abused woman who wants to abandon her son... the wife who waits for her husband to wind down like a clock...the man with a desk full of unfinished novels who cannot look in the mirror...the house that is throwing a party to which the owner is not invited...these and many other voices await you in Deborah's collection of flash fiction. Priestess of Secrets will take you on a journey that is fresh and fascinating.

“A series of fictive vignettes... a wonderful assemblage of voices. Introducing each of these “flash fictions” is a statement that snares the reader:
“The minute we die we become more valuable.”
“The car smelt like mold.”
“There were no orchards in my childhood.”
“She’d always wanted a room that wasn’t a room.”
They pull you into the miniature worlds Fruchey has created. Sometimes they comprise internal dialogues of an interesting someone, and you want to know more. Sometimes it is a question to tumble for answers. However, without exception you are engrossed.”
- from the foreword by Robert Eastwood
