SS 18: Shark Skin Suite: A Novel - Plot & Excerpts
“I always wanted to be a reporter. It’s true! As a small child, I’d cut up the Palm Beach Post with safety scissors and glue my own newspaper back together on construction paper. Then I learned more about the industry and started my own paper when I was five. Knocked on all the doors on my street, but the only person who would buy a subscription was this sweet old lady who lived alone, and I’d deliver one handwritten paper each week for a dime. Of course all I could write was my family life: all our secrets, money problems, fights, weird habits and other dirty laundry. I thought she just wanted to be cheered up by little kids coming around, when she actually turned out to be the biggest gossip on the block and everyone started staring at our house. Then I gave up the journalism bug when I was six. Didn’t know at the time that it would be the last edition of my paper, but I felt circulation needed a boost, so I went around the side of the house and loosened all the fuses in the electrical box, but just a little so it wouldn’t be noticed.
