Diary of Adelyn "Addie" Hayes

In 2016, the movie The Girl on the Train starring Emilie Blunt came out. It was a very good movie.

But did you know that back in 1997, I became the original Girl on the Train?

My story, better late than never, is finally out...

It's good ;)

You might have seen my series, Alien Invasion, on other doll forums.

Those where just pictures I took and added some dialog to. Not really a story.

Well, I decided to go back to the beginning and turn Alien Invasion into a real story beginning with adding a new character, Jerrica.

If you can't see Jerrica's picture by clicking the link above, it is because you are not a member of this forum. If you want to see the new Alien Invasion series, you will have to become a member here because there will be no more updates of Alien Invasion on the other forums.

Then you will really appreciate Erin's story. Well, not so much her's, but her parent's story.

Addie

Thank you for sharing , if it’s trains we love it 🚂

Here’s our home built N scale White Pass 101 now at Durango & Silverton .

I don't imagine that the Oban Times would have a Page 3 girl!

Oban Times didn't have a "Page 3" like The Sun. But there was a Scottish edition available all across Scotland.

But Oban scandal sheet printed in family notices , if it is Addies (Amtrak birth) parents then her mother would be only seven years old , also the parents names don’t tally …

I am not related to Erin in any way. I have never left the States or western Canada.

Erin and I only first met about a month ago. Also, Erin told me her mother was born in Ireland in 1969 and her father in Scotland in 1967.

Addie

Makes me older than both her parents!

Thanks Adelyn for explaining , great and comforting story all the same 😍

Well, it seems that I am not the only one with a history filled with trains.

I just found out that my friend Erin's little sister works on the railroad. How cool is that!

I have been working on a e-book that I want to publish on Amazon. Hopefully, it will be available on Kindle before the holidays.

RISE is the unforgettable origin story of an Irish farm girl who bakes the truth—a coming-of-age tale steeped in mysticism, folklore, food politics, and quiet resistance. The first book in a genre-bending trilogy for anyone who’s ever been told to follow the recipe... and chose to trust their hands, and heart, instead.

I have just completed the first draft of the first book. I have downloaded Amazon's publishing app but I haven't transferred my Word version over yet. Of course, little me, Adelyn "Addie" Hayes will be the author. (for real)

In a windswept village on the edge of the Wicklow Moors, Rhiannon O’Keane learned to bake by instinct and folklore, folding rosemary for memory, honey for hope, and always listening for the silence before dough begins to rise.

But when her otherworldly baking defies a school curriculum built on conformity, and later topples expectations at a national contest sponsored by processed food giants, Rhiannon becomes an accidental icon. Her scones spark controversy. Her loaves whisper rebellion. And her quiet refusal to compromise makes her a legend.

From hidden recipe books to classrooms that fear creativity, from mystical Irish hillsides to a surreal island where nostalgia and fantasy collide. RISE is the story of one girl’s magic, her defiance, and the bread that challenged a system.

Part myth, part coming-of-age, part culinary revolution, this is not just a tale of flour and folklore. It’s about what happens when you stop asking for permission, and start baking your truth.

Anyway, I won't be posting any of it on any forum anywhere in including this one. However, anyone interested in critiquing it and making suggestions during my revision process is welcome to message Hanna and let her know.

Thanks,
Addie
