The Nan Stories
Hello there, Goodreads friends,
I've been working on a new novel--a ghost story with other supernatural elements, set in coastal Maine--which I'm hoping to get finished with soon. But in the meantime, I'd like to share with you another project I'm working on: a collection of linked short stories I'm calling "The Nan Stories," as each revolves around a young woman named Nan who moves from rural Vermont to NYC to start college in the wake of her older brother's death. I've written 8 Nan stories so far, three of which have been published (another forthcoming this fall in Narrative magazine). If you'd like to check them out, I've posted the published stories on my Fictionaut profile:
"Nan" is the first story in the series, originally published in Post Road. "Country House" is the third story, originally published in ReDivider.
"Forgiveness," the fifth story was originally published in Guernica, and nominated for a Pushcart Prize last year.
The second story, "Liars," will be out this fall in Narrative.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to your thoughts.
Sincerely,
Nathaniel Bellows

NAN Update
My first blog post here on goodreads was about a collection of linked stories I've been writing called NAN. The collection is finished and it's now a novel-in-stories, containing 10 stories, 7 of which have been published so far.
NAN is about a young woman, Nan, who moves from rural Vermont to NYC for college in the wake of a family tragedy. The book follows her as she tries to adapt, fend off the dangers inherent to the city and to life in general, and find a way out of the grief of her family circumstance. I have hosted all seven published NAN stories on Fictionaut and they have been read nearly 1K times. If you are curious about the NAN, please check out the link here
