Faye Hicks


Biography

I’m a hardy Canadian who studies river ice jams for a living. I grew up in eastern Canada (New Brunswick) and moved out west to Alberta after finishing university in the early 1980s. After many more years of university I finally had enough degrees to get hired as a professor and I’ve been doing that ever since. I love to write fiction and creative non-fiction. (I also write a lot of technical stuff - but unless you’re an engineer, you won’t want to hear about that!)

You can find the fun stuff in a few places. For example, you can check out my blog by visiting fayehicks.wordpress.com. I’ve also written a novel - Defining Moments - contemporary women’s fiction with adventure, romance, tragedy and time-travel. It's available right here on Smashwords. I have a couple of books of humorous short stories coming out soon - and I’m also working on my second novel.

I live on an acreage near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada with my husband, Les, and our furry family of rescued cats and dogs. Please check out my website at www.fayehicks.com for more info on my books and to see some cool video clips and photos about my work.

The story of Ellie Ward, a professor with a knack for making bad decisions at life’s crossroads, often with tragic consequences. Although Ellie has the ability to rewind the clock and reverse her bad decisions, she never has any idea what the specific ‘defining moments’ were, and so she never knows how much of her life she is going to have to repeat to undo a bad situation.

    This is a wonderful collection of stories! The author’s ability to bring out the humor of everyday situations and her unique take on family life had me laughing throughout. If you’re a parent, I am sure the comical situations in these stories will bring back some of your fond (and humorous) memories of raising your family. If, like me, you’re not a parent - you’ll probably be wiping your brow in relief a time or two, in between wiping the tears of laugher from your eyes. My personal favorite is the Halloween story. I’ve read it a few times since I downloaded this book and it never fails to give me a laugh. So grab a coffee and settle in front of a cozy fire for a self-indulgent treat. I challenge you to put this book down once you get started.

    Have you ever met a squirrel smarter than Einstein? Do you every get the urge to climb the freezer compartment at the grocery store? Ladies, have you ever wished you had a beard? If you’re like me - you’ll find these to be entirely new concepts, and if you read this book - you’ll find yourself chuckling over all of them. In addition to these three original humorous stories, the title story from this book, ‘Going Home’, will sweep you back in time to Grampy’s whisker rubs, games of Red Rover and Mom’s homemade donuts. It’s a wonderful story of farm life as a child, whether it be the thrill of jumping from the barn’s loft into soft piles of hay or death-defying trips to the dirt cellar in search of preserves, the author paints a vivid and captivating picture of ‘going home’.
