    Jul 15 2022


    “Bluebird Days” is the sequel short-story to “Live at Five” told by Aimee Lewis, a former television news reporter who suddenly quits after being pushed too far on the beat. Forced to leave the life she built on screen, Aimee is presented with an opportunity to move to a remote mountain town to start over at the bottom of the food chain. Here in Fraser, Colorado, the former news reporter takes on waitressing at a ski resort to keep paying the bills while buying time to figure out a new life dream. It’s surprisingly, wonderful. A town that alerts travelers they’re ‘Now Leaving Planet Earth’ when entering the valley, Fraser supplies a simple and serene life at just the right time.
