Margaret A. Frey writes from the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. Her work, fiction and nonfiction, has appeared in: Notre Dame Magazine, Thema, By-Line Magazine, Kaleidoscope, Cezanne’s Carrot, Foliate Oak, Camroc Press Review, Apollo’s Lyre and elsewhere. Forthcoming work is scheduled for Used Furniture Review and The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature. Margaret lives with her husband and the ghost of her canine literary critic Ruffian, who always preferred walking to writing. When not at the keyboard, you might find Margaret in the garden, hoping to lure those ruby-throated hummingbirds in for another seasonal stay. A native of New Jersey, she’s still acclimating herself to her adopted mountain state, one without an ocean. She keeps a shoebox filled with sand in her closet because the past is never dead.
