Just out - a new short story - TALITHA CUMI - read it now in ECLECTICA. 'Last summer I was struck down by a terrible sickness and died..' http://www.eclectica.org/v12n3/andreacchi.html '...'Talitha Cumi by Grace Andreacchi... dramatizes a Biblical event in such a way that it becomes a "real" event happening to "real" people. What I like about these stories is that, while obviously religious in their subject matter and tone, they aren't a bit preachy, and yet they capture the very personal, life-altering relationship that I imagine all Christians wish they could have with their Savior. On a stylistic level, Andreacchi's stories are religious parable meets magical realism.'
