If you're like me, you love short stories because they require only a short commitment--you can read one and then move on to the next, enjoying a different cast of characters in every story.
Next month, my short story collection will be released, Mothers, Sons, Beloveds, and Other Strangers (Bold Horses Press, 2017). The book features 15 stories set in the South, California, and Europe. Some of the stories are edgy, and some are funny. Here's more from the back cover description:
--Why did Sadie's mother run away? And when will she return?
--Must a teenager learn the truth about her daddy the hard way?
--In an Italian laundromat, what kind of trouble can a restless wife find?
As soon as this collection is available, I'll let you hear. Meanwhile, happy reading!
