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.
This book is the diary of a hairdresser who had a calling and a great memory. It is filled with stories of gossip, angst, triumph, challenge and most of all, humour. By looking into the mirror of others, we come to see the reflection of ourselves.
A Hairdresser’s Diary is available from Amazon.com. Continue reading “Sneak Peek: A Hairdresser’s Diary by Christine Hannon”
Winter is nipping at the heels of fall. The air is cold and crisp. Squirrels cavort among the denuded stands of oak, ash, hickory, and maple trees.
The small covered bridge allows a narrow paved road to traverse a placid stream. In the distance, crows caw at some disturbance.
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.
Please keep language and subject matter to a PG-13 level.

I’m very pleased to announce that Chris James is joining the staff of Indies Unlimited as a contributor. Chris has an erudite writing style and a sharp dry British wit. Those qualities in combination with a full head of hair are bound to make him a standout here at Indies Unlimited.
He is 6′ 4″ tall and is left-handed, which is more problematic than it sounds, as all our uniforms are right handed.
Though originally from The U.K., Chris now lives in Warsaw, Poland, with his wife and three children. He published his first novel in 2010, a futuristic court-room thriller called Class Action, and his second in 2011, called The Second Internet Café, Part 1: The Dimension Researcher, which takes the sub-genre of Alternative Realities to its logical conclusion. He is currently writing the second part of The Second Internet Café trilogy and, for light relief, likes to have a go at writing comedy.
Please give Chris James a warm welcome to the Indies Unlimited Army.*
*The Indies Unlimited Army is a lot like the KISS Army, except we are about writing rather than music and less than half of us wear makeup (as far as you know).
