I am thrilled to announce the publication of two new short stories in the premier issue of Hotch Potch Literature and Art! Yes folks, this is a first here at Marco Etheridge Fiction: A Literary Two-Fer! Two of my short stories, “Fado Valletta” and “Spiccato,” appear in the fine new ‘Zine Hotch Potch. I’m happier than a fat man in a pie-eating contest. So, without further ado, let’s get to it.
“Fado Valletta” tells a tale of love and sorrow, passion and loss. Every evening, a mysterious woman sings from her balcony. Local folks gather for this evening concert. But who is the woman in black? Decades before, a rough Maltese smuggler captured the heart of a beautiful Portuguese Fado singer, and she captured his in return. This is their story.
“Spiccato” is the story of a young girl raised to a young woman more by her violin rather than by her parents. She must break the limits set upon her by her parents, her peers, and her school.
Right here, Friends and Neighbors:
