"Trick-or-Treat Or Fraud" by Maria Cloninger

 – the trick is not getting caught

An innocent effort to do good goes awry in the reasoning of a bewitched, pre-adolescent mind.  

Maria Cloninger lives in Shelby, North Carolina, and enjoys participating in local writers’ groups and workshops and attending book signings to meet and talk with the authors. After years of crafting legal briefs for federal court as a disability specialist, Maria decided to pursue writing for pleasure. She enjoys the challenge of writing short essays and stories. She is working on a novel based on the interesting life of a family member.
