Adam J. Whitlatch is more than just a pretty face. He’s an intelligent, thoughtful, and gifted writer. He loves to tell stories, no matter the genre. He is most definitely not a one-trick pony when it comes to storytelling. Whitlatch has a great ear for language and the soul of a poet. It shows in this wonderful collection of short works and poetry. If this is your first experience with Whitlatch’s work, it’s a good way to start. Pick it up on a Friday and enjoy it on a quiet Saturday afternoon.
