Today, we present My Boogie Man by Harley May. You can find our more about Harley at harleymay.com/about/ where she says, “[I am a] writer and reader of many things. I blog about everything: writing, books, movies, music, my husband, three children, and other random things that make me laugh. My parents are from Alabama, but I grew up in South Korea. Essentially, I am a foreigner with an American passport. I love my life.
I am a regular contributor for An Army of Ermas. I have a few things up at Fictionaut.”
Of My Boogie Man, Harley told us it came from realizing that sometimes what makes us feel loved or brings us a sense of happiness might not always be the best things for us.
Making a welcome return to Cast of Wonders is your narrator, Danielle Daly. Dani is a forecast analyst who works for a pharmaceutical company on Long Island NY, happily married to the love of her life. Their children are hypoallergenic Siberian cats that think they’re puppies. (I wonder how’d they’d get along with my dog, Jake?) Dani loves to read, garden, listen to music, cook and daydream. She says, “Narrating stories is great for someone like me who can’t write well but still burns with a desire to be part of the literary world.”
