Ferry Findings by Susan McDonough is an anthology which will be published by Kitsap Publishing in late summer 2016. It is a selection of stories set in the Pacific Northwest. which is illustrated by Glenn Wachtman's photographs. One of those stories is called 'It's Magic'. The Pacific Northwest has been our homes all our lives. Glenn's family has deep roots at Priest Lake in Idaho, and he grew up on the waterfront near Southworth, Washington, ten minutes from the ferry dock. Susan's family spent years vacationing on the Washington and Oregon coast and at Lake Cushman in the Olympic Forest of Washington. You have to appreciate the cool color palette when you live here. Blues, greens, and grays predominate; the warmer colors are rare But there is something about the misty water on a chilly morning and the cry of a seagull which says: "Be aware. Life is passing -- and it will last forever." It's a contradictory message that we find comforting. The stories and the pictures in this anthology are our attempt to express our feeling of the immediacy of joy, the frailty of life, and the longevity of this world. Susan and Glenn Wachtman February 2016 The title story "Ferry Finding" is currently featured at: http://www.literarymama.com/fiction/archives/2015/05/ferry-findings.html
