The Cold Fall of Grace

Left stranded in a snowbound house, Lanny faces her darkest fears of death and more. Does she save the man she loves or her own soul. With an ax and a rope, everything she knows hangs in the balance.

(One night, not too long ago, photographer Ted Nemitz dared his friend CC Geddes to write a short story about a photo he posted on Facebook. Here are the results of that dare.)

CC Geddes is the dark alter ego of a Reno-based writer whose credits include more than a dozen short stories, two poems, a few essays, a bunch of ghostwritten nonfiction books, more than 300 nonfiction articles, and a big bunch of editing (magazines, short stories, and books). She is a publisher at Lucky Bat Books and runs Flying Hand Writing Services, both designed to empower writers to tell their stories in their own ways.
