“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.

Each month, we'll give you a new writing prompt here on our home page. Our past writing prompts, over 100 of them, are located at The Nudge. They'll be catalogued from the home page to The Nudge page every week but will not contain our special edition prompts. You can sign up to receive special writing prompts in our newsletter below.
Writing Prompt Style for 2023
We're sticking with the monthly writing prompts for another year, but with a slightly different twist. Throughout 2023, you'll receive a thematic writing prompt as you did in 2022, but you will also receive one to two vocabulary words to add an extra challenge to the theme and the writing prompt. You look up the definitions and try to add the monthly vocabulary word(s) to your writing. Good luck in creating good writing this year.
Nudge #168
March: Theme--A Meadow
Observe a meadow now, and begin a poem, short story, or longer work. Put this piece of writing aside, and we'll revisit the meadow later in the year. If you don't have access to a meadow in person, check out a webcam. Here's one from Big Creek Meadow in Yosemite.
Vocabulary Words for added challenge:
1. conviviality
2. vitiate
March: BONUS Prompt #169
COOKING WITH SOMEONE FROM ANOTHER GENERATION
Inspiration for this prompt comes from THE MOSQUITO HOURS by Melissa Corliss DeLorenzo. In the novel, Tania regularly cooks with her great Aunt Anne, and in fact, Aunt Anne teaches Tania to cook. Find someone from another generation, preferably an older generation than your own, but a younger one is okay, too, and ask them to teach you how to prepare a dish, meal, and/or drink in the way that they prepare it. Use this cooking experience as inspiration for a story, essay, blog, or poem. Did you learn something about their generation while you were cooking...maybe something unrelated to the dish or drink that you were preparing? Do you see them differently after the kitchen session with them?
