<p>The moment a stranger enters a story there is a seismic shift, and reader or audience member knows things will never be the same...for good or ill. This week in the Cold, we examine the role of the stranger. How a stranger is introduced, and the way he is woven into a story. We then weave a stranger into our continuing story...the fairytale we've been writing by the seats of our pants. Please join us for this second chapter of "Romakaji." This episode is also available as a blog post: https://victoriadougherty.wordpress.com/2021/03/26/strange-stories-and-the-strangers-who-inhabit-them/</p>

Join fiction writer, essayist, and blogger, Victoria Dougherty, to ponder the creative life, and endeavor to look at the stories we tell and the stories we live with a cold eye, but never a cold heart.
