Thanks to fellow author and musician Cindy Bower for this opportunity to promote my work. Cindy and I met years ago through Wyoming Writers and WyoPoets. She lives in Casper, Wyoming, about a two-hour drive south of me here in Sheridan.
She recently offered to conduct some writing exercises, accompanied by her harp playing, for my local Third Thursday Poets, which started in 2006, contrary to what she says in the video. After that, she began participating in our monthly activities, driving over from Casper each time.
When she sent a request for poets to share their work on her recently created YouTube channel, I was the first to volunteer. When she came to Sheridan for our August meeting, we created the video. I hope you enjoy it and thank you for reading and watching.

New! Living Vicariously in Wyoming: Stories
Copyright 2025 by Abbie Johnson Taylor
Published independently with the help of DLD Books.
Image Description written by Leonore Dvorkin of DLD Books.
As defined in the first story, living vicariously means living your life through someone else’s. You’re invited to live vicariously through the lives of the people in these stories. There’s the lawyer who catches his wife in the act with a nun. A college student identifies with a character in a play. A young woman loses her mother and finds her father. And a high school student’s prudish English teacher strenuously objects to a single word in her paper.
In Wyoming, as in any other state, people fall in love, and sometimes relationships are shattered. Accidents, domestic violence, prejudice, and crimes all occur. Lives are torn apart, and people are reunited. Ordinary people deal with everyday and not–so–everyday situations.
The 25 stories in this collection, most of which are set in Wyoming, are about how the various characters resolve their conflicts—or not.
