Argyle shares sixteen of her literary pieces written during 1999 – 2011. In the title story, “True Colors,” the main character fights her vibrant personality against the true darkness lurking within her. The story builds until a row of six dead birds stop her in her tracks. In the opening story, “Thread,” (also published in the 2011 collection, Stories for Sendai), a married couple’s reaction to the Sendai earthquake and tsunami on March 11th, 2011 reveals their own earth-shattering issues and what must be done to solve them. The lizard on the cover represents the story, “The Threshold,” about a young boy with an intense physical attraction to a girl he’s not supposed to touch. True Colors is a collection of quiet stories exploring the hidden, but often overlooked colors we try to hide every day. Sometimes they shouldn’t be hidden at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso included are several poems and one prose poem picked as the staff choice award in New Mexico’s Literary journal, Scribendi (2002).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michelle D.
