Cloudbursts - Paperback

by Velgen (Val) (Dumond) (Author)

For years, Velgen was immersed in left brain writing pursuits, mostly targeted at grammar, language, and history. Still, in the quiet of her closet, she turned out pieces of fiction, short stories that popped up at odd times; book themes, along with plays that seemed to fit better than story form. Breaking out of the closet, she shares her burgeoning fiction collection with readers. "Some of these pieces amaze me with emotions I didn't know were in me," she admits. "Still, scary as it sounds, all the work in this book is fiction." Just don't tell her that stories arrive from "out there" somewhere; she knows they are all stored inside that right brain of yours - and hers.
