Swamp Princess - a short story

The premise determines that Penelope's deepest thicket of fears could keep her from true passion or deliver her into adventurous love with an unlikely partner. An earlier version of "Swamp Princess" was published in the short fiction anthology Blue Cathedral (Red Hen Press, 2000), edited by Kate Gale and Mark E. Cull. Allie Bullock created "Swamp Princess" through a series of writers' workshops, first as a three-page thriller, subsequently blown into a screenplay to flesh the characters out, and several revisions later adapted into this 15-page short story.
