Heart Pound: and Other Stories

HEART POUND is a collection of short stories, largely of fantasy and/or biography. A war veteran, a baglady, an elderly gentleman, a ventriloquist’s widow, a 19thcentury girl, a business woman, and other diverse characters attempt to deal with life’s provocative circumstances. Ms Bolton‘s early inspiration was Poe‘s The Telltale Heart. Subsequent stimulation came from writing groups with Barbara Follansbee of New York City and New England prize-winning authors, Pat Schneider, Patricia Lee Lewis and Cynthia Kennison.
