about me

I am a mother, grandmother, sister, nurse and was forced into early retirement due to a thyroidectomy gone bad. Presently, no one wants to listen to my awful speaking voice. Allow me to also mention that, I was a singer. I really tried to do my part of ministering in song to those who listened. Some would say, I did a good job (smile).
I believe that in our darkness times, if we allow ourselves to listen, we have the opportunity to spiritually grow. In my darkest hours of depression and solitude, from out of no where, a light touched my inner spirit and characters filled my mind with stories that entertained me. They comforted me by telling me stories that sometimes made me laugh, cry and question my truths. But more importantly, they let me know that they didn't mind the absence of a clear crisp speaking or singing voice. It was my special time, to just listen and be ministered unto.
One character said, "Marie, you don't need a voice to be remembered as a good person who did a good job. The speaking voice will be forgotten when the recording is no longer played and/or apart of the new world's technology. However, the written word will remain within the spirit of the writer. Each one who reads that written word will always feel the presence of you. Now, go to your computer and write these stories, my child."
Because I found these stories unique, comforting and having an interesting premise, I would like to share them with you. I understand that the goal of this site is to have hundreds of reads in order to make it to the editor's desk. I will not be disappointed if I don't meet you there. It might be that my journey's purpose is to give you the encouragement to make it through your day.
Thanks Harper Collins for this site. Sincerely. Marie

Sun Shine and Rain

Marie DuGar Bell

Six unique stories are told in this Anthology. Share their lives and stories told.


In times of solitude one by one, they came as characters I’ve never met and didn’t know. Their uniqueness very entertaining and stories were told that I have never heard or read before. Drawn into each experience and events sometimes impossible in real life, but very believable.

I laughed at their animation in the short stories, ‘Why Men Do What They Do?’ and ‘The Killings’. I shimmered at the prostitute’s erotic dark side of life in, ‘What Else Could I Possibly Do?' The characters in the short story, ‘The Room of Chairs’ left me with a haunting paranormal theme. But after visualizing and hearing the four sisters in ‘The Secret of Lies’ I became so emotional, that I cried. Then a precious uplifting wind blew my way and through her breeze a wonderful fairy tale was told in, ‘Winnow the Wind’. Copyright 2010
As the characters shared their stories, I would like to share them with you. Enjoy the read and remember nothing heavy. Just allow them to entertain you.
