Dead Clothes

By Nancy C. Wilson

Really, is there anything wrong with taking clothes off someone who is never going to wear them? When you're broke and living in the depression, you take chances and take what you can with no one getting hurt. Mame Fernbrower is a good woman, but the depression has her at the final straw. Yes, she can sew and take care of her family's needs, mending shirts, turning cuffs, making clothes last just a little longer. Putting cardboard in shoes to go a little farther, adding water or a turnip to make a stew go a little further. Spices are the key, and she knows it. Her garden is small and puny, but she tends it and takes what she can out of it. Then, it happens, her whole world turns around with just one funeral. Her sister-in-law Greta has just past away, they were never what you would call friends. Greta looked down on Mame and considered her beneath her and her friends. But Mame's husband Lucas loved her and didn't give a damn if she was from the wrong side of the tracks or so Greta used to say. So, came the day of Greta's funeral, Mame's world changed, forever.

Hi! My name is Nancy C. Wilson and I am a dream writer. For a long time, I wrote with my best friend Harriet Trevathan. We wrote a four-part series entitled "The Secrets of Parkerville." Harriet lived in Texas, so it was a little difficult to keep up with each other, but we did every day. I wrote for my character Skye McKenna and she wrote for her character, Cassie Evans. I live in Pennsylvania and as I said, she lived in Texas. We would exchange chapters every day and sometimes argue over what our characters could do, you see they had 'powers' and it was fun to read them in action. I've just completed a new book called Dead Clothes this month. It's an entirely different kind of book taking place in the Depression-era of 1936. It's fun and enlightening and I feel I know the characters as if they lived next door. I love them all.I grew up with Harriet Trevathan. We met in grade school when we were eight years old. So, we've been best friends for over 62 years. It breaks my heart to say, she passed away last June, and I still have a hard time getting my heart around the fact that she is gone, and I can no longer call her up and talk to her. She was the best friend anyone could possibly have. I've just finished my newest book, "Dark Joy" a sequel to Dead Clothes. The continuing saga of Mame Fernbrower.
