I'm hidden inside the fiction and oddly, or maybe not so odd, I included three memoir pieces that I don't identify as such. That's the first tip-off. For reasons I explain in The Fear and Love Conversations (http://www.wattpad.com/51998951-the-fear-%26-love-conversations-mary-l-tabor-part-1 Part 2 follows.), I mix fiction and non-fiction. In the fiction, I use food and adultery as metaphor for the grief I bore through my mother's, my father's and my sister's illnesses and deaths. I didn't know when I wrote "The Woman Who Never Cooked," the title story, that I would become that woman. Here on Wattpad, I have posted in this collection three memoir pieces and the fiction. I have changed for this posting on Wattpad the central character's name in each of the stories because these stories connect to one another and are part of an organic whole. The central character in all the stories is "Olivia". #Visible for "Sine Die", "Losing", "Madness and Folly." The collection closes with an essay on the relationship between autobiography and fiction. #NonFicSpotlight
After you left us a note, I made a short tour of your stories. Splendid. But more striking is the shock of meeting a talented and fully grown-ass-woman on Wattpad. Hurrah! We will keep a close eye on you. Ceci & JackProfound, keen, deep, tender, subtle, beautiful, poignant, poetic, succinct. A very very intricate piece. it is a pleasure to read ur works.
