“Joe” by guest author, Sharon McInnes

An everyday interaction.  

An almost-missed opportunity.

Life, circumstance, death.

How do we find meaning?

We’re hosting a short story written by Sharon McInnes. Joe, originally titled “The Neighbour” was shortlisted for the 2020 Federation of BC Writers Short Fiction contest.

Podcast uploaded November 25th 2020, (the pandemic election year) the day before the US Thanksgiving.

Sharon McInnes, a writer from Cumberland, British Columbia, is the author of Across a Narrow Strait and Up Close & Personal: Confessions of a Backyard Birder. In 2020, four of her short stories, including The Neighbour, were published, shortlisted, or took first or second prize in four different writing contests across Canada.
