Loading ...Today we have a sneak peek from author Christine Hannon’s memoir, A Hairdresser’s Diary
Hairdressing: an act of transformation. We search for the right hairdresser. Telling them stories about our lives that we don’t share with everyone. They become the keeper of our diary. Sometimes we wonder what the world looks like from their eyes. The Hairdresser’s Diary lets us read those stories, starting with the hairdresser’s own.

A Hairdresser’s Diary is available from Amazon.com. Continue reading “Sneak Peek: A Hairdresser’s Diary by Christine Hannon”

Your character is part of a search party looking for some missing campers. He walks out on the end of the little pier hoping not to find a body…
In 250 words or less, tell me a story incorporating the elements in the picture. The 250 word limit will be strictly enforced.
