Fear. The emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. Hope. To wish for something, but to expect that one day it may happen.

DISCLAIMER: This story was written in late 2012. I wrote Strings Attached as an adolescent with no idea how a healthy, adult relationship should function.

A contemporary southern gothic mystery series about a teenager who discovers a cache of centuries-old letters containing clues to crimes happening in the present day. READERS CHOOSE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT! Parish Mail is written like a TV series–there are over-arching mystery and romantic story arcs that extend between the episodes, while each episode has a smaller case that is presented and solved.

Kristin Anderson and Priya Chand. The individual letters are property of the contributing authors.
