We have another fabulous entry for you, this time from Peggy Wolf, who is a very welcome newcomer to our travel writing competitions. I am sure you will enjoy reading Peggy's inspiring story as much as I have. Enjoy Solo Flight here. Solo Flight was first published in the spring 2015 issue of the Moonshine Review literary magazine. This piece of creative non-fiction, written by Peggy Wolf, is also an excerpt from her memoir of the same title, which is a work in progress. Since doing a sports column for her hometown newspaper, Peggy has edited a trade magazine, been a guest columnist, and written feature articles for two major city US newspapers, and the AARP Bulletin. Peggy now lives in a tiny log cabin on the side of a mountain in the US state of North Carolina with her husband. An assortment of farm animals occupy the barn which is twice as large as her cabin. Look for Peggy Wolf's memoirs Mother of Sons and Take Heart due to be published later this year.

I've heard it said (and it's certainly true) that in music, it's as much the silence as the notes that makes 'music'. There is a quiet pace in this piece and intriguingly I'm left with many questions; wanting to know more about this story, this character. Well done.

You don’t own a house like this, she thought, it owns you...inspirational, love that. ..She wanted to leave, but the house wouldn't let her, Hauntingly suggestive...you can't catch me now...Escape, but from what? Surely not a house? Beautifully written.
