The Thing Is

Short Stories of Things and the People They Encounter

Beschreibung

Like people, some stories are shorter than others. Here are five such petite stories, the perfect length for an afternoon read. Each of them is a jaunt in noticing things--be it a typewriter, a medieval church bell, a grandfather clock, a fiddle, or a potato. Noticing things in the world God made always comes with consequences of some sort; and thanks be to God, levity is often part of the deal.

Autor

Rivers Houseal was self-awarded the title Defender of Typewriters at a young age. She's a graduate of homeschool, and she didn't wait until graduation to begin writing stories. She completed her first fantasy, Of Nature and Kings, at age 14 and was then too far gone to bail. Nowadays she keeps a running list of story ideas that will keep her hopping well into old age. Her tales are diverse, but they all stem from her love of new stories, old ways, and ageless truth. And though her main gig is storymaking, she also rejoices in being a professional oldest child, a Lewis/Tolkien fan, and a vanquished subject of King Jesus. Some of her greatest influences have been C.S. Lewis, Andrew Peterson, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Douglas Bond, Rich Mullins, and an ark-load of others. If in this life she is allowed to sit on a pumpkin in the shadow of their thrones, she might just croak from too much joy. She resides in the Ozark foothills in Northeast Arkansas, where she dreams of the day she can set foot in Narnia. She'd settle for Scotland, though. To learn more, visit Rivers at rivershouseal.com.
