When She Lost Part of Her Mind

 

Most people in their early twenties hardly know what it’s like to live without a cell phone. Well I lived without one for about 35 years and know exactly what it’s like. So I thought it would be fun to write a story from the point of view of a college age person who drops her phone through a sewer grate where she can see it, but not reach it.

This idea occurred to me during a trip to Thailand with my wife in 2015.  I made the main character a young nursing student, since I had been a nursing student about five years prior. I decided to put her in a study abroad program in order to set the story in Hat Yai, where I noticed a number of very large grates in sidewalks. And I wanted to involve the Prince of Songkla University since the faculty there had so graciously hosted my wife and me while she gave some lectures and conducted workshops. The result was When She Lost Part of Her Mind.

Preparing this for release on Amazon has taken most of my free time recently and is why I haven’t posted more on this blog. I have included a link to the page today and I have included a link. If you don’t see this until after the promotion is over, please just contact me and I will be happy to make a copy available for you.
