NOIR Pause for PUSHCART Nominations ~ AT THE BIJOU

NOIR Pause for (drumroll please)

PUSHCART Nominations

 ~ AT THE BIJOU ~

BIJOU SEAT ~ Heidi Schlempp Fournier

Luscious Ladies and Genteel Gents who have been gracing our red velvet seats AT THE BIJOU for the past two years ~

The lingering mood of the painting above (available, fittingly at artist Uncle Shlomo's Pushcart site) speaks to me, solitary on its reflective pier, as the author's mind. Alone but full, where words come to life and purvey their chance encounter to reach reader, to turn pages, to hold interest, to inspire, to leave rapt or to evoke a well-placed chortle. 

We have experienced all that AT THE BIJOU with the stunning authors gracing our virtual stage of stories and reflections. Truly 'Writers' raves are Readers' faves'.

Honoured am I

 to send the following

 six Pushcart Nominations

 out into the world

 to do us proud ~
