My Choice for Writers and Readers Choice Today is...

This story was posted yesterday in MFU Short Stories and it's a gem! Get ready for some laugh-out-loud reading. Stolen from leethet:

My favorite bit:
"Now, Illya, you know I can't shoot her."
"Can you shoot me?"

By Loretta Ross, "The Lost Innocence Affair." The link takes you to Geocities.

Yes this was a gem. Thanks for adding it to the Writer's and Reader's Choice today.

It's wonderful!

Excellent author. But what did she become? Seems she has disappeared from the surface of the Earth.

Wish I knew. I wanted to send her a comment but the Email address at the end of this fic doesn't work. There is an author with the same name but I'm not certain it's her.

Loretta is still around, though not active in fandom any more, sadly. She's gone pro. (https://www.amazon.com/Death-Redheaded-Woman-Auction-Mystery/dp/0738743933/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1505602102&sr=8-1&keywords=death+and+the+redheaded+woman)


And my quote up there is bad! It should of course be:

"Now, Illya, you know I can't shoot her."
"Can you shoot me?"

I wasn't certain that was "our" Loretta. Maybe I'll send her a message and see. Perhaps she has another MFU story to write.

Ha! Yes, Illya had enough of her at that point.

Yup. That's her. :-)
