“All right, boyos, listen up because I’ve got a story to tell you.” The storyteller said cheerfully as she settled back in her diner booth and put her feet up on the table.Her companions simply looked at her with long-suffering gazes. None of them happened to be boys. Or even Australian.“This one here, I call, ‘The Long Tale of Suffering and Death’.

My name is Charlie Howitzer Randolph, and instead of lipstick, I wear duct tape.That was a metaphorical statement, of course.

Author bio

Lorenza Blackwell is an entirely real person and is most certainly not a figment of her imagination. Or your imagination. Likes: Paradoxes, Rangers (the type with bows, shame on you if you thought of a truck), The color Dahlia Purple, Raspberries, Strawberries, Psalm 30 even though it makes her sad, rainy days and most cats. Dislikes: Jeff from State Farm, the color pink, her writing partner's cat, canned cherries and broken pencils. One fun fact about her: Lorenza once sat down and figured out how many watermelons it would take to get enough juice to fill a medium sized military jet's fuel tank purely for writing purposes--800, if you were wondering. Lorenza is currently writing a book series along with her writing partner, Euldna Wandheath (find her here! https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/author/euldna-wandheath/), although neither of them have enough focus to only write one book at a time, so they may end up publishing out of order.
