My Ebooks

I have four books that only exist as ebooks: The Best 'Un Yet, Over Coffee, Rest in Peace, and Little Meg Reddingoode.


The Best 'Un Yet: Five short stories about Christmas: “The Best ’Un Yet,” newcomers to a rural community try to change the annual Christmas program; “The Spirit of Giving,” a father takes his children to a mall to receive charity; “‘The Magi’ Strikes Back,” a gift exchange goes wrong; “You Don’t Ever Know,” children at a rural school receive gifts from an anonymous benefactor; and “You Ain’t Buck Nekkid and You Got Enough to Eat,” a country girl envious of her classmates realizes how fortunate she is.

Over Coffee: Five short stories about awkward relationships: “HotGuy16,” an older woman, who pretends to be a teenager on MySpace, goes to a cafe to see the boy she met online; “Making Changes,” a soon-to-be-divorced redneck finds that the girl of his dreams isn’t at all what he expected; “Chosen Child,” a teenage unwed mother’s life changes dramatically because of a lie she tells; “The Roadhunter,” two high-school buddies who reconnect after being apart for years find they have little in common; and “Denouement,” a couple meet for coffee to mark the end of their marriage.

Rest in Peace: Three humorous winning stories from the Sherwood Anderson Short Story Contest: “Rest in Peace” (1996), a boy aspiring to be a preacher practices funeral sermons by burying his drunken father; “Everybody’s Business” (1999), a small-town jock futilely tries to score with the new girl at school; and “Burning Bridges” (2002), a rural Virginia woman, trying to set Yankees straight about the real Thanksgiving, causes problems in her daughter’s elementary school, gets herself arrested, and alienates her mother-in-law.

Little Meg Reddingoode: An Appalachian version of the Red Riding Hood tale set in Bedford County, Virginia, during the Revolutionary War period. Young Meg Reddingoode, clad in her mother’s red cloak and carrying a basket of supplies over the mountain to her grandmother, encounters a strange young man in the woods. She declines his offer to accompany her, so he goes on ahead. When Meg knocks on the door of her grandmother’s remote cabin, someone grabs her arm and drags her inside. Meg soon finds herself and her grandmother at the mercy of a Tory.

Ferradiddledumday: The ebook version does not have the illustrations that appear in the print version. Gillie—a skilled spinner of wool—leads a charmed life high in the Blue Ridge Mountains with her pa. When a hailstorm destroys their cash crop and taxes come due, Gillie and her pa risk losing their farm. Then a strange little man gives her the power to spin hay into gold and her home is saved. Years later, when the strange little man returns and demands his payment, Gillie doesn't know what to do.
