Artist: Leah Gardner Leah Gardner is a self-taught painter who lives and works in Chicago, Illinois. In March of 2020, she picked up painting as a distraction from what was unfolding around the world. After a few months of fiddling around, accumulating a stack of terrible paintings, and learning from many mistakes, she realized she was developing a knack for working with oils and began to sell her work. Since January 2021, Leah has painted full-time, selling originals and prints on her website and through social media. Her work can be seen at several businesses in the Chicago area. In her free time, Leah can be found walking her dog around Chicago, tending to her many plants, or binge-reading fiction novels.

Leah Miller's peaceful life as a member of the Spring Township Amish church shatters when she's accused of theft from an Englisch home in which she works. Even if she is not charged, if the crime is never solved, she will live under the taint of the theft and may never be able to participate fully in her Amish community. Josiah King, friend of Leah's brother, is drawn into helping Leah and discovers the 'little sister' he'd always tolerated has grown into a strong, appealing woman. But what future can they have together if suspicion makes Leah an outcast? As they attempt to learn the facts behind the accusation, danger grows around them. It's only through their trust in each other and the support of a faithful Englisch friend that Leah and Josiah can find their way through a tangled, dangerous maze to the truth. An ebook exclusive novella from Marta Perry's The Brotherhood of the Raven series.
Your love Like suicide Has its own sinister magnetism That draws me to the edge of the blade As I’m cutting through the carrots Or pulls me up dangerously close To the side of the freeway Where I can feel the breath of death Chase along my skin As the Big Rigs rush recklessly past Your hand Between my thighs Brings forth that kind of violence Shaking me Like a baby And then filling me up Like a breathing tube It leaves me hungry At night Gazing into the open refrigerator Or pacing Through cold corridors Like a corpse called up from the crypt So when you tell me to Let go Because it isn’t working Because it never was We both know There can be no Absolution Like a toy boat Cast into an angry ocean We never Had a choice. ** Trying something a little different. Thanks Chris for the shot help and critiques while writing the poem. There is an element of Gregory Crewdson in here, although it's mostly inspired by a photographer who had a similar refrigerator image in a book I leafed through in a waiting room one day.

Blog | Facebook | Twitter Touring the Vanderbilt Mansion was a highlight of my trip to Hyde Park yesterday. To look at this room, you'd think Frederick Vanderbilt lived a luxurious life. That he did, but our tour guide told us that Frederick had the most modest lifestyle of his siblings. All rights reserved. Protected with PIXSY.
