'Laurel Ridge' by Joe Casey

[Camy]

Laurel Ridge is a thoroughly good read. Set in 1937 (post depression, pre-war), it's not as bleak as I thought it might be.

I haven't read anything by Joe Casey before this, so now I'm off to see what else he's penned...

Here's a picture of Reid's car:

Sorry, Joe. I lied. I've read Monk a couple of times and it's excellent!

I'm not usually interested in period pieces, but both of these stories are outstanding. I'd love to see more of them.

I'm delighted that Joe has landed on AD's doorstep.  What a great writer!  Hope he delivers us more and more stories.   He's a wonderful additon to our list of writers.

I humbly thank all of you for reading the story and taking time to comment about it; your kind reviews are most appreciated. The story wasn’t written specifically for the “Turning 20” challenge, but its themes seemed to mesh nicely with the challenge, so I submitted it. 
 

I have one story somewhere in the pipeline with AD; luckily, it takes place in the present day. I have two other stories—also comtemporary—that relate to each other and can submit them for review fairly soon.  
 

Thank you so much!

BTW, I have a number of stories over on the IOMFATS website, under the same Joe Casey author name.
