I just read T.L. Peter’s short story, “A Sweeter Kind Of Rhythm,” and I must say, it is fantastic! This short story follows the life of a violin as it recounts its many ups and downs over the centuries, changing hands between those that love it, and those that don’t. When I was in high school, I used to write all my short stories for English from the viewpoint of inanimate objects—I think personification is my favorite literary device, and T.L. Peters captures this element beautifully through the voice of the violin. It’s a heartbreaking tale of sorrow, yet redemption does come, and it’s a haunting tale with a magnificent theme—you need to read it to understand.
“A Sweeter Kind of Rhythm” was previously only online at the RED OCHRE LiT: A JOURNAL, but is now available from other vendors as well under the new title “A Sweeter Rhythm” (see links below); you should definitely check it out! To read more about the author, T.L. Peters, check out his blog.

T.L.Peters is an ex-lawyer who enjoys playing Bluegrass Fiddle and giving his dog long walks in the woods. In between he writes novels. If you search my name at Amazon’s kindle store or Barnes & Noble’s nookbook store, you will notice that my covers come in three types. The deep harbor blue is for my legal thrillers, such as the best selling A Pittsburgh Affair and Helpless in Paradise, the bright flowery cover is for my coming-of-age adventure stories, like Gracie and the Preacher and The Boy Who Loved Bach, and the arid desert landscape is for my more literary works, such as The Accidental Lover and Say Nuthin’ Bad. So try one and enjoy. They’re only 99 cents apiece.
Thanks for the lovely review.
