When Jim Goforth mentioned writing for Triggered, I thought it would be pretty simple since I have accused of triggering people (and ruining coffee, popcorn, and gumbo for people). I had also survived Dani Brown's trigger-causing story about toenails! Yet, when my story was done and turned in, it was subtle but triggered some very unpleasant feelings within me that almost became true fear. i told Jim to edit as he pleased and do as he wanted but that I never wanted to read my own story again because of (not what was written per se) but what was going on in my head as I wrote the story and the unsaid parts. No clue what he edited because I never read it again but he did accept it and chuckled at me. If a reader wants to be unnerved and , yes, triggered, give this a read. Whether or not my story causes any pain, I have no idea, but I suspect that the other stories are far more deadly. Enjoy!

A hellish storm forces an unwitting group of travelers to seek shelter from the road. After nearly giving them up for lost, each finds himself in front of the eerie pub called the Rack and Cue. The pub's owner, Porky, welcomes them in with tasty beer, delicious homemade meat pies, and the promise of food entertainment - a pool tournament. It's a winner-take-all competition with a hefty cash prize. However, as each round wraps up, and each loser in turn mysteriously disappears down to the cellar, some of the guests become suspicious. One pair of truck drivers, Rigs and Iain, determine that their only hope is fighting their way out.

There are several authors who I was always a huge fan of and later got to meet and all were very inspiring and friendly people. There are a handful who I read and was a fan of and then met and who later became friends of or very very close buddies of. David Owain Hughs is one I do not know well (yet) but I am a fan by far and have been a while so I was thrilled when JEA began carrying some of his stuff! DA Roberts is one whom I have a great story with. I was a huge fan of his and when he began to speak with me, I had to try to hide my shyness because he was a hero-writer of mine: he is that amazing and I love his books. For years, he and I have been working on a book called Cold Hunger that will be out soon and he is the only author I have ever worked with as a co-writer. I still feel humbled. Fast forward. The book will be out soon, as said, but DA (Doug) is now with JEA and carries an amazing imprint dedicated to books with characters who are cops, military, detectives, etc. He and his darling wife are considered to be family friends now and we hope they might even move very close (fingers crossed). in a few years, I went from fan to friend and Annette is like a long-lost sister in my heart. TL Decay (Trevor Smith) and his family are like...well, family and I was a fan before I knew him. The night he spoke to me and was friendly, I got glassy-eyed and felt such pride that HE would consider me worthy to talk to. My message here is 2-fold. Authors, take a chance on a little guy who worships your talent and let us be your friend. Readers, talk to us who are writers, as just people and give us a chance to befriend you! Writing can build deep friendships.
*** I could list a ton more but suffice to say all JEA staff and friends and many more have become close friends because I first picked up a pen. Love to 2 special friends: Amanda and Kitty.
