SMFS list member Cheryl Marceau’s short story, “Smoked”
appears in the new book, Getting Through: Tales of Corona and Community.
Published in paperback form, the read is available at Amazon.
Synopsis:
GETTING THROUGH is the
fruit of a grassroots effort to grow community through story-telling during
this unprecedented period of coronavirus physical isolation. By donating ALL of
our profits from book sales to the Red Cross, reaching out to help those who are
in desperate need during these harrowing times, we extend that sense of
community. The stories, essays, and poems contributed to this collection were
mostly written within the first few weeks of confinement by some old friends
and many from new friends whose faces I’ve never seen; from aspiring writers to
established authors; from every corner of the US and from around the globe;
from scientists, musicians, birders, high school students…you name it. Some
pieces are deadly serious, others a touch bizarre, and some I hope will give
you a chuckle in these difficult times.`In GETTING THROUGH, you'll find
fiction, nonfiction, poetry, dystopia, essay, memoir, humor, science fiction,
children’s stories. Stories of faith and hope. Stories of biting satire and of
empathy. Love letters from parents to children. It’s all good. People are
creative in many ways. The collaborative effort has given us, the authors,
direction and hope and spirit as we face the harsh realities of the COVID-19
pandemic. By sharing the fruits of our labor with you, the reader, we hope you
will join us in our community-building aspirations so that when it's finally
safe to go outside again--as it will be--we will enter an even better world
hand in hand.Here's the honor roll of contributors to GETTING THROUGH: Robert
Baldwin, Riccardo Betti, Johanna Fridrich, Dan Blum, Ann Chamberlin, David
Cowley, Mi a Bella D'Augelli, Robert Debbaut, Victoria Dougherty, Gerald Elias
