Ritual and Ruin
Chalkboard One Line Poetry Prompt for Jun 10
Rhubarb ripped from dark earth dangles,
Water pours on Esther’s hands.
Blade carves stalk from leaf to simmer in cinnamon,
stew in sugar, serve in cellar,
sating hunger.
Now, it’s your turn

Author’s Notes: This week is the launch of my latest novel, Those Who Hunger: An Amish Vampire Thriller. If you’re in the mood for a “spine-chilling” and “complex” slow-burn thriller, this story about a young girl’s coming-of-age and a series of vicious murders in her small town will set fire to everything you know about vampires. From June 12–14, the novel will be discounted to $1.99. I’ll save a seat for you at Esther’s table in Hager’s Valley. I hope to find you there.
