“The Postmaster’s Daughter is a haunting southern requiem that will play in your mind long after the book has closed.”
—Paula Wall, author of The Rock Orchard and The Wilde Women
When a marriage proposal brings together two families in East Tennessee, the wealthy and powerful Cantrells and the hardworking and respected Putnams, everyone is shocked by a sudden murder that halts the union. Sharon Mabry’s first novel, The Postmaster’s Daughter, is a literary fiction performance that shows Mabry’s ear for character details and her ability to weave a murder plot that keeps the reader’s interest on the stage of the novel. The Postmaster’s Daughter not only leads you into the working kitchen and tastes of cinnamon buns made by Viege Putnam, but it also takes you for a ride in Jack Cantrell’s ‘29 Model J Duesenberg Phaeton. Mabry arranges each scene and action with precision.

Writing Prompt Style for 2022
The Nudge weekly writing prompt will vary in theme and style for 2022. No set format. No set style. Spend one month on each topic/theme.
Nudge #159 - 160, August - September 2022
August: Voting. Write a story or scene about the experience of voting and/or not voting, though make the central theme of the story or scene about the process of voting. Some examples: write about a character who volunteers at the polls, someone who registers others to vote, a character who is conflicted about the process of voting, a character who can't vote for some reason, and/or a character's life changes because of their views about politicians, the process of voting, how other people in their life vote, etc.
September: Center a short story or a whole chapter for a longer work around a single meal. Try not to change locations or settings. Describe the meal itself as if it is a character or a group of characters. Allow it to affect your characters and their actions. Don't simply describe the food based on fragrance and flavors. Go beyond those basic descriptions of food.
