The thing that I love about digital publishing is the ease with which authors can create and distribute shorter works of fiction, such as novellas or short stories, without having to create an anthology. In The Memory Lights, by KM Weiland, we get treated to a wonderful short story about a mentally ill young woman set in Victorian England.The author teases out the details of the circumstances of her illness and her protector, Colin. From the first we know something is wrong with Mary and it has something to do with lights…if she could just remember.Weiland makes her characters leap off the page in dialogue and mannerisms, drawing us in as she leads Mary remembering what happened.  As is always the case with a good story, it ends too soon, but I’ll be back for more.
