    About this ebook

    THE STRANGER is a 10k word short story, written in a folk-tale style, with a sprinkling of LGBT characters, and magical realism aspects, suitable for 14 yrs old+.

     

    In the small self-sufficient mountain town of Baylor, 'A Stranger' sweeps into town during the onset of a storm, and strange things start to occur.

     

    Barb will be forced to confront her long long-held romantic feelings for her good friend Greta, but Greta can't get over her feelings for her possibly deceased husband who went to war many years ago.

     

    Other residents such as old-time neighbors, Harold and Seth, will have to take a better look at the details of their long-held argument. And sweet lil' Evie, the town shepherdess agonizes between her suitors, the dashing Bill or kindhearted Mike, until she encounters The Stranger.

     

    The Stranger moves into town like a quiet shadow, and when he leaves no one will remember him, and they will never be the same.

    Author

    Mary Black Rose

    Studied writing at the "School of Hard Knocks" and "University of Life" getting my degrees in "Fine Arts of Common Sense" with a minor in "Epic Ass-Handing." Being pansexual, I enjoy writing a variety of LGBTQ characters with diverse backgrounds and sexual orientations. Throw in a dab of magical realism, and romance for good measure, and some real-life conflicts to overcome, and you get 'Black Rose' original stories. I read a lot to keep the voices in my head quiet. I write a lot to keep the voices alive. When I'm not writing, I'm supporting my husband and wife, (I'm polyamorous), and taking care of family minions. You might also find me crocheting, hiking, watching Deadpool or South Park yet again, or just reading a good book. Yours, Mary Black Rose For FREE stories and info visit me at: MaryBlackRose.com – LGBT Contemporary Magical Realism BlackRoseReads.com – Speculative Horror MsBlackRose.com – Steamy LGBT Romance
