Elk County author Megan Schreiber-Carter has released a new short story, “The Great Aunt Alice Collection.”

The story has been released in print and as an Ebook, and will be released as an Audible recording, read by the author. Starting next week, printed copies should be available from Elk County retailers and libraries.

Carter said, “Wild souls, free spirits, and savage thoughts live on in the remarkable attic of a young girl growing up in the mountainous Pennsylvania Wilds, during the 1960s and 70s, among the grand, historic remains of a turn-of-the-1900s Boomtown.”

She offered a snippet of the story as well.

“When my Aunt Alice was a teenager,” Mom said, “she hopped on the train with her boyfriend, headed to New York City, with the intention of getting married. Her mother, your Great-Grandmother Lulu Muldoon, was on the next train and determined to stop them, which she would have, but she lost them in the New York train station….”

Carter said, “‘The Great Aunt Alice Collection’ presents tall tales and telling truths told in rural, Elk County, from the late 1870s to the late 1970s, and hands out ‘pearls of wisdom from the living, breathing, soul-filled past.’”

Carter is a third-generation native of Pennsylvania’s Allegheny Mountains and a career writer. Her bio and more of her writing may be found at www.megansdesk.net.

The story is the first in a series called “Megan’s Mostly-True Stories.”
