Women Who Stay, 8
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 ________ As we ate, I thought that Eleanor's advice was right. Letting Janie lead was productive, even if it chafed. I'd suspected from the start that Janie was different from the Women Who Stayed. I now felt she was different from anyone else I'd ever spoken with, let alone interviewed. She had more to say, and she wouldn't be bullied into it.

The Canyon's Cry: Where Wind Meets Wail
Folks huddle closer, firelight dancing in their eyes. Tonight's story ain't for the faint of heart. It's a tale woven from starlight and screams, passed down through generations in our family: the legend of Whisperwind's Wailer. Now, some might scoff, call it a campfire yarn to spook the young'uns. But let me tell you, the wind in Whisperwind Canyon carries more than whispers.

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 ________ Sheila, still surly, dropped our food on the table. Pancakes for me, of course. I seemed to have run through the little goodwill my association with Janie afforded me. I tried to keep the conversation going over the meal, but Janie only gave me short, clipped answers while she repeated her birdlike performance of eating.

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 ________ Janie ate her omelet in small bites. She patted her mouth with a napkin after each sip of coffee and reapplied her lipstick regularly. If this was a performance, it was practiced. I could tell she wanted me to dive in, to start demanding answers from her, but I resisted the urge to break the silence that settled once our food arrived. She'd made me wait. She could do the same.

Chapter 1 ________ We arranged to meet in person for the first time in early April. The rain was tremendous, drumming with long fingers against the windows of the Somerset Diner. A small trickle of water pooled on the chipped booth's edge. I watched it grow while I waited for Janie to arrive. When she was almost a half-an-hour late, the pool had become a puddle and I requested a new table from the sour-faced waitress.

Recollections
The sunlight begins to dim behind the tall shadowed trees. Pine trees, spruces, and birches seem to be stretching up like arrows into the sky. The now barely visible black trails are snaking through the underground. It’s quiet. Suddenly, chilly wind slips through leaves, cracking undergrowth with each of Lucy’s rapid steps. “Was that a wolf howling?” She stops for a moment.

I lied. Chapter One Revised.
(To note: Since this is not a complete book and just a work in progress in it’s very early stages, I imagine these chapters will ebb and flow and change and be out of order at this phase. Maybe I will stop calling them chapters. But I don’t know what else to call them. Any ideas? I’ve never done this before. A kids book, yes, but this is a new game and I’m just warming up.)
