These two photographs look over my shoulder as I settle in to write every day. The first came down to me in a group of old unmarked family photos. I bought the second at an auction because It looked like it needed a home. These two haunted me till I wrote Hard Time Marrying. I hope my story pleases them.

Me too. My husband was recently given an old family album full of wonderful pictures. Sadly, none were identified, but it is a beautiful thing.

You did the photos justice, no doubt! As for the “figure” in (black tee-hee), weeeell, if it inspires another story, then go for it.

It might, but I hope it let’s me work on another project for a while, but sometimes the story takes over my life.

Good grief. That first photo is very scary. I’m sure I can see a figure in black just behind the tombstone. 😱

You are right! There’s something hiding behind the tombstone! OMG! That adds sinister to the picture. Look further out into the center of the graveyard and I don’t think that’s a tree nor tomb. I hope this doesn’t rain on your story. But what exactly happened to the person whose grave the family is visiting?
