TRANSMOGRIFICATION SIMPLIFIED

Posted on July 9, 2015 by Donna Gwinnell Lambo-Weidner

What ho, a door in the forest? Looks harmless. Unless it opens to a land rife with malodorous trolls, attacking arachnids, or hellacious cannibals. Or it could hold nothing but a peek into the lives of the inhabitants of a neighboring town, as … Continue reading →

A PROCLIVITY FOR PONDERING P**P

Posted on June 11, 2015 by Donna Gwinnell Lambo-Weidner

While jousting jesting with Sir-Walks-a-Lot under a brilliant, vivid sky this day upon a ghill called Martin, the knight errant’s band of merry hounds pointedly raised their moist nose tips en masse to the wind. After an intense, yet brief snuffle,

Posted on June 3, 2015 by Donna Gwinnell Lambo-Weidner

THE TRUTH ABOUT ALICE

Posted on April 30, 2015 by Donna Gwinnell Lambo-Weidner

Alice Wetherby-Pimms’ teas were famous for drawing an eclectic crowd.

FIRST PERSON, PRESENT, TENSE

Posted on April 17, 2015 by Donna Gwinnell Lambo-Weidner
