The latest contribution to our Memoir Showcase is from Sue Wald and is a very recent recollection. As Sue explains, "It's very fresh, my birthday was on the 15th and I came home on Wednesday."

Sue Wald
As a Thursday Child and multilingual language teacher, she has helped enough school children (and a few adults) on their way to be able to look back on a life not wasted and heave a sigh of relief, while enjoying the scenery and the cool breeze drifting in from the ocean.
Under her Nom de Plume 'Sue Wald', she has put together 'A Day in the Life', an Anthology comprised of Tristan Stories - 'Tristan Radler's Opinion of Life' - (Fred's Blog Fiction Showcase), the Short Memoir 'Players' (Fred's Blog Memoir Showcase), which takes the reader on a journey through time from the 1990's in Nürnberg in Franconia, Germany, to her granddad's hometown Zwittau in Sudetenland, now in the Czech Republic, in the 1920's, offering glimpses into her grandfather's life before, during, and after WWII, including an entertaining lunch encounter with the Oskar Schindler, as well as peeks into her own life and ghosts of the past; as well as a Short Thriller, 'Faith Value', set in the present, and in her chosen neighbourhood, the lush Cantabrican coast of Galicia; 'I might actually have lost the Plot' is the title of the Collection of other Short Stories - also part of the anthology - of which the Very Short Story 'The Birthday Massacre' is the latest entry.
