The Tennis Instructor and the Tolling Bell

The Tennis Instructor and the Tolling Bell – New Non-Fiction from Levitate Magazine. I am thrilled to announce my latest published lyrical memoir. The Tennis Instructor and the Tolling Bell has just been published by Levitate Magazine. This non-fiction piece is the story of a chance meeting on the Vienna U-Bahn system. A shared memory, an horrific event, and the impact this had on me. Levitate Magazine is a lovely online ‘Zine. Access is free for your reading pleasure. Mine is the lead-off story, so you can’t miss it.

What the Editors Said:

Marco Etheridge does an amazing job in The Tennis Instructor and the Tolling Bell of talking about devastating but important topics and how different events affect people. It faces the unbelievably tragic reality that is school shootings. Not only does he talk about this topic in a very respectful manner, but he uses his experience to start a conversation and break the taboo against talking about it. He takes time to give some background information about the Parkland shooting in 2018 just in case the reader doesn’t know too much about the events that happened that day. In addition, I respect that he does not make the topic seem cliché, but also does not downplay the event.
