This is a strange blog week for me, because on the day I usually post it I will be running around Provo, looking for a Thanksgiving turkey. The break in routine, though, allows me to introduce something new to my website. I've created a "Sampler" page, where I will occasionally put stories or parts of things I am working on to share with anyone who cares to read them.
My first Sampler is a Thanksgiving story with a multicultural angle. It was originally a chapter in my current novel-in-progress, but I eliminated it while trying to hone my story arc. Only one of its characters (Rebecca) remains in the novel, but I kind of liked the other characters, so I refashioned the chapter into a story.
As you get ready for your own Thanksgiving, drift on over to Sampler to see Rebecca's. It's not terribly original - all families have less-than-perfect family meals sometimes - but it might be fun to peek in on someone else's turkey trauma.
