"MOM! Kick Me In The Jimmy!"
By Audie Cockings August 1st, 2013, 0:00 EDT
I knew this time would come but not with my Q-Tip.
Our tall, skinny, seven-year-old was to be my indeterminant go-to snuggler. He was, from birth, my easiest baby, easy to soothe, always grinning ear to ear, generous with laughs, and tender. He was the beautiful blue-eyed boy every young woman dreams of and the one I missed most when kindergarden snatched him from me. My Peruvian friend deemed him the incarnate Paul Newman.
About the Author
Audie Cockings
Audie Cockings is a happy wife and mom to four kiddos living on the Fresh Coast in Northern Michigan. When she's not concocting fictitious narratives of strong but thoroughly flawed women for Liberty Island, she is slinging paint or crafting meals for six from local forest flora and fauna (read: Chukkar with morels). Audie works as an eldercare consultant by day and an associate editor for Liberty Island in the wee hours. She has been published in PJ Media, Liberty Island, and in two Midwest health care journals.
New to the editing staff at Liberty Island, Audie will be focused on developing authors and novels for readers with indoor plumbing. Period works (think 80's and 90's), dry humor, historical fiction, and stories of devout but dysfunctional families and friendships are encouraged for submission. Positive outcomes and finding blessings in disasters are of particular interest, as are stories of women and the men who make them nuts.
Audie plans to spend her retirement catching up on lost sleep.
