READ: "Painted Leo" - A FREE Short Story by Jade Alyse
As I gear up to write another full-length novel entitled, The Trail’s End and with the unexpected success of“Amber”, a flash fiction story I wrote on a whim on the commute home from work a few weeks ago, I randomly concocted another short story, Painted Leo on the drive back from my hometown of Winston-Salem, NC. If you haven’t guessed it yet, the majority of my inspiration happens while I drive, and, consequently, I drive a great deal!
With this one I used some of my experience in Paris last summer, and used a couple of the French phrases I learned. What’s most exciting is that I can share this new writing style with you as I transition.
If you weren’t already aware, I’m not accustomed to writing about murders and women disguising themselves as French prostitutes to seek retribution from cheating husbands. But it’s been a fun ride!
If you’ve been with me from the beginning (see: When You Come to Me), you’ll know that this is a huge jump!

100 Copies of "Kiawah" Sold on the iBookstore as of 9:55a!
This has been a big week in my life as a burgeoning author! On Tuesday, I rather spontaneously released Amber, my flash fiction endeavor that has been receiving positive reviews thus far. And now this!
For any independent author, this is a great feat! That means that the type of groundswell that I've been working toward is finally happening! There is no doubt in my mind that Kiawah is my proudest work to date, and exhibits the type of writing voice that I have been crafting for a few years now. I haven't figured out how I plan on celebrating this stepping stone, but it'll be something great :)
