 Elmwood Stories to Die For, focuses on stories from a famous Memphis cemetery.
​
 “The Yellow Fever Revenge” in the Elmwood anthology tells of a single woman who exacts revenge on the man who raped her —and gains so much more than satisfaction.
​
​ The story is set in the most horrible period in Memphis history, the yellow fever epidemic of 1878. During the outbreak 5,000 people died. In a city of 47,000 residents more than 25,000 people fled. Few  returned. I later turned it into a novella.
