This newsletter is supposed to be about my fiction. So maybe it is time I laid a little fiction on you. This is a short story I wrote several years ago. It was first published in Canada’s Storyteller magazine. It is based on an old folk ballad, “On Claudy Banks”. A sailor goes to sea, leaving his lass behind. Will she be true? How can he know? What lengths will he go to to find out?
