    About this ebook

    Her story "Traveling Musician" tells of her experiences as a musician that travels to nursing homes to sing to the old folks. Her story "Woman Preacher" talks of what the Lord calls woman to do and what women in the congregation today are actually like.

    Not all the stories in this volume are so serious though. Her story "Bird Talk" is about Brothers Paul and George. George has a pet bird and one day he forgets to cover the bird's cage before going to work, chaos ensues when the neighbors overhear the bird yelling.

    "Lock-Down World" is an anthology of eight short stories that will make you think, make you feel, and make you laugh.

    Nancy Hall

    "Writing and yoga are a natural link between the physical ordinary world and the inner work needed to explore and understand ourselves. Stories must be told to help us sift through life and to endure. Practicing yoga and paying attention remain the two vital parts of my writing life. I don't know where I would be without them." Nancy and her husband renovated a grain bin known as the Diva Den, where she writes, teaches yoga, and watches sunsets. This is Nancy's second Southern mystery novel in the Tilted Series. "Tilted," her debut novel, received five-star reviews.
