In the Spotlight:
Hunter S. Jones
Maer Wilson

Today’s featured author is Hunter S. Jones with her newest short story, Fortune
Calling . Let’s find out more about her.

Hunter in her own words:
The art form I create when writing is
much more interesting than anything
you will ever know or learn about me.
However, since you ask, I have lived in
Tennessee and Georgia my entire life,
except for one “lost summer” spent in
Los Angeles. I was always a complex
kid. My first published stories were for a
local underground rock publication in
Nashville. Since then, I have published
articles on music, fashion, art, travel and
history.

Currently, I have a music/entertainment
blog @ExPatsPost.com. My debut
novella, Fables of the Reconstruction,
was published in 2012. I have a series of
sexy vignettes on Amazon called Tales
from a New Amsterdam. Moon Rose
Publishing included my novella, Magic
in Memphis, in their anthology, A Celtic
Tapestry in March 2013.
Magic in Memphis is currently
available as a short story on Amazon.

Edgar Allan Poe and Anne Rice have
always fascinated me, although like any
Southern girl, I will always idolize
Margaret Mitchell for writing Gone With
The Wind. I also adore the works of
John Grisham, and own a huge
selection of his books. I live in Midtown
Atlanta, Georgia with my husband, my
books, too many clothes, too many
shoes and way too many stacks of
notepads and journals.

Read on for more about Hunter and her newest story.
Dallas Fortune is a small town girl with a gift for playing guitar. A member of her family
has played the Grand Ol Opry since it began as a simple radio show in 1925. But, they are
the minstrels, the troubadours–session players–not stars.
Dallas lives her life on the road. She’s just another guitar player with a dream until she
finds an antique blue mandolin in a pawn shop. Her life comes into focus as the
enchantment of the mandolin captivates her audiences. The Guitar God of Nashville
beckons her. Everything is there for Dallas at last, until a stage accident sends her home
and shatters her dreams. Blow after blow she fights the hand of fate. Is she destined to lose
out in life? Hope, dreams, and love seem to be just out of reach. Every girl dreams of a
happy ending. Dallas Fortune has the best Fairy Godmother in Country Music history. Will
she help make Dallas’ dreams come true?
Is the future among the stars, in the cards or locked in your heart?
Fortune Calling is the first story in The Fortune Series. Set in contemporary Nashville and
rural Tennessee, the series chronicles the life and loves of Dallas Fortune.
