My latest short story, “Now You Never Call Me anymore,” has just been published by Adelaide Literary Magazine. Tina, the main character, is facing an emotional crisis like the one Louis Armstrong sang about: “Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans, when that’s where you left your heart?”
Drawn by a longing for their past, as well as the city’s vibrant music and culture, Tina visits her critically ill ex-boyfriend Matthew, taking pains to hide the trip from her husband. Instead of the closure she hopes to find, she learns a secret that will haunt her present life.
In addition to the web version linked above, there’s an online paperback here. You can also find a regular print edition of the magazine at Amazon.
Whatever format you read in, I hope you enjoy the piece. Please check out the other great writing at Adelaide too. You can find all of my stories from Adelaide and other publications here.
