Author Description

Here are the stories of the perpetually minor characters. Of the woman who walks past your office every day and never says a word. Of the nameless co-worker on the floor above you. Of the weird kid who tries to talk to you outside the library. Of the virtual stranger you invite to your wedding for fear of giving offense. Some happy, some sad, the characters who inhabit Pretty Lies & Other Stories are in search of things we all want: Happiness. Friendship. Love. Olivia Folmar Ard's debut mini collection of poetry and short fiction will compel all who read it to stop, look around, and reach out to the people on the fringes of their existence. Because everyone is the main character in their own story. Bonus material included!
