Earlier this summer I joined KLAW – Kitsap Literary Artists and Writers – as a way of becoming part of the wider local writing community, and to find potential future resources for the eventual distribution of my own writing. I’ve been going to meetings regularly, but haven’t had a chance to participate in any of the KLAW book sale events that take place locally, mostly because I don’t have a book to sell just yet. This Halloween, however, I was able to participate in a different way.
Every year, KLAW collaborates with BKAT (Bremerton Kitsap Access Television) to film and show a Halloween special, wherein several KLAW members gather by the fireside to share spooky stories. I couldn’t resist participating this year. I sat with Mark (Marshall) Miller, David Martyn, and Pat Sheehan, and each of us contributed our own story to the night. It was a fun evening of yarn-spinning, and a great opportunity to contribute to local broadcasting.
The story I chose to share is called “Bone Appetite.” I describe it in the video as “just a simple story about a pleasant old man having a quiet evening at home,” though Mark didn’t believe me. I can’t imagine why!
You can listen to the story yourself, and all the stories from the evening, on the KLAW Youtube channel. The video was actually uploaded 27 October, but I’ve been preoccupied lately and this is the first chance I’ve had to talk about it! My story starts at 35:54, but I encourage you to check out the whole video and listen to all the tales.
I’ll also release the full text of the story here, on my website, later this week. Stay tuned!
