Wednesday Lee Friday

I am the author of A Stabbing for Sadie, Kiss Me Like You Love Me, and The Finster Effect as well as a goodly number of short stories, novellas, articles, and reviews. I hope that my words, my work at The Roots Of Loneliness Project, and my own life experience can help those who are struggling with loneliness themselves. No matter what you’re going through right now, you’re not truly alone. I’m a Michigander who holds a BA in theater and journalism from Olivet College. I eat true crime for breakfast, am eternally grateful for EMDR therapy, and can tap dance and play the dulcimer—though not at the same time. I was born on a Tuesday, and hate when people ask me that question.
