Highway Robbery
A little #tinytale/ micro fiction I cooked up this morning. What good is a star without her light? Elara wondered with the lantern’s glow pulsing softly beside her. Her fall had been fast and hard. A glance earthward had shown her the most beautiful darkness she had ever seen. Eyes of liquid midnight and a […]
Fallen by Rose J. Fairchild
Our fridge broke the other week. I, being the ever so stubborn persistent person that I am, researched on YouTube and Google and did all the “common issue” maintenance I safely could, Han Solo. I thought I fixed it, but alas. Our purchased thermometers confirmed: the temperature did not stay consistent in neither the freezer nor the fridge areas. Food poisoning was lurking out in our hallway, robed in her purple velvet cloak, snickering and smirking while smelling of rancid milk. I threw an aluminum air freshener can at her.
Out, we threw all our perishable food items away. Out went my beloved hummus, Tamari, pickles and the beautiful gift of Mexico: salsa. Oh, my wounded fajita.
I kicked Food Poisoning outside into a rose bush. She’s still out there, glowering and sulking, darting me nasty looks and stale crackers with old sardines.
“And stay out!!!” I thundered…

When his lips barely moved and her silence said it all, When the glances were shared, but her veil made him fall… When the stories were merely for sleeping and daydreaming was at prime, When the moments weren’t usually captured in photographs, but in the sands of time… Those were the days of gaiety and […]

He still wanted flies
Launching my book feels so bizarre. On one hand it’s moving too quickly. On the other hand it feels like it’s not happening fast enough.

So during lockdown I have been working as usual but also thinking about new writing projects. I’ve decided to go back to my roots and start writing shorts again. Short stories are always creeping up on me when I least expect them and lately I have been excited by the short stories of such writers […]
Writing Shorter Tales
I’m happy to announce my essay for a symposium on Jewish writing has been published in the summer issue of the RRA Connection, the newsletter of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association.
Am I a Jewish writer? Are my books Jewish books?
And what determines a Jewish book anyway?
I am a rabbi. My protagonist is a rabbi. My Rabbi Aviva Cohen mysteries are Chanukah Guilt, Unleavened Dead, and Yom Killer. My work-in-progress is Killah Megillah. One of my nonfiction books is Talking Dirty — in Yiddish?
When I first was trying to find an agent for Chanukah Guilt, an interested agent, Jewish, told me I had to change the title, that no one outside of the two coasts would get the pun.
