FLUTTER BY - BY CINDY BELL
In this reminiscent story, Dell is seven-years-old. She lives in a place where pine trees whisper secrets and imaginary people come to life. Lucy flutters by in the summer of '62 to give Dell peace, hope and love during this turbulent summer. Find out the horror of what nine-year-old Lucy must do before she flutters on to ensure Dell's safety.

EXCERPT:
Before we realized it, he was standing in the doorway, blocking us from getting out. "Mother sleepin'?" he asked.
Not being a very good liar, I answered, "Maybe."
"Maybe, maybe not. Is that what you're saying?" I didn't know if the ace I had up my sleeve would help us or not, but I had hope. At that moment, a spider dropped from its silken strand and swayed in front of his face. His feet came off the floor by a good four inches. He took a pillow from the sofa and knocked the spider from its strand. "Come here and kill that thing," he said to me. I didn't move as I enjoyed his display of terror. "Come here, crybaby, and kill that thing. If you don't, I'm gonna have to slap pipsqueak around some more, and you know you don't want that." More than anything I didn't want that, so I tugged my hand free from Lucy's and stomped the spider with my bare foot. He shuddered, and the last valuable lesson I was to learn that summer was that when you're not a very nice person, you should never let them see you sweat.

THE FIDDLE MAKER - BY CINDY BELL
AN EPIC DRAMA WHICH WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE IN 2005!!!

Excerpt from The Fiddle Maker

The fiddle maker's head leaned back against his chair and he rocked slowly to a hateful memory. He had awakened one night to a noise that sounded familiar, but he couldn’t put his finger on what it was exactly. He waited a moment or two and heard nothing else. He dozed on and off, soon realizing that Ruby wasn’t in bed with him. He found her whispering a song in the living room, wringing her hands as though they were wet, and rocking the rocking chair swiftly. "They ran after the farmer’s wife, who cut off their tails with a carving knife." He stood silent, watching her as always, thinking he was going to find the mysterious cure to what haunted her. The curtains fluttered in a sudden bit of breeze and she stopped singing. “Did you hear the bedsprings screaming?” She asked the question to no one in particular in the dark room. He knew she was sleepwalking, but realization hit him that it was the sound of bedsprings he had heard.
He noticed Jessy then, sliding against the wall in the whispery darkness. “I see you, Jessy,” he whispered.
Jessy said nothing at first, but a hard, swallowing sound came from his throat. “Something is very wrong with her,” he said. “Very, very wrong.”
“You didn’t kick her out of your bed, though, did you?”
“It’s not what it looks like. I woke up and she was on top of me. She bit the hell out of my neck, and I struggled to get her off. That’s what you heard. I swear it.” He didn’t know whether or not to believe his brother. Ruby rose from the chair and walked to the window. She hummed as she stood there, oblivious to the fact that she was not alone. They both watched her silently with the light of the moon coming through the windows. The gown she wore did nothing to hide the silhouette of her body. She looked like a banshee standing there, glowing in the moonlight with a current of air driving back her hair. “I gotta get out of here,” said Jessy. “She scares me to death.”
