At Your Own Risk
Confronting the
Shadow Side-
Mature
readers only. A small but powerful chapbook
collection of prose and short essays of Gail’s most
hard hitting thoughts and opinions. Here, she holds
nothing back, allowing you a unprecedented look into
her deepest core that, upon reaching age fifty, she
finally felt unshackled enough to make public. Be
warned, this little collection contains language and
subject matter that you may find offensive, even to
the dedication page. But it is a hard look at the
reality of the darker side of us all, and how at
least our awareness of it can promote spiritual
growth and the understanding that even the rainbow
must have both the sun and shadows to exist.

…“I
have lived in the South all my fifty plus years,
venturing off seldom and never leaving for any
permanent places
other than where honeysuckle climbs and corn
rustles.
I know a lot about people of the South.
Southerners, unlike Northerners,
are decidedly and sickenly sweety sweet,
stabbing you in the gut
while employing at the same time
that good old southern sunshine smile
and “Oh honey, I do declare, I’m soooooo sorry.”
Yankees, on the other hand,
just beat the mental and physical shit out of you
and leave your ass for dead
with not even a pink sticky pad note of apology
stuck to your head.
Everybody has a dark side.
They just handle it differently,
depending on their raisings.”…
