On A Fine Sunny Day

Migrations

Life is transitory. People move from one point to the next. What happens in that transition? And what choices do we have in the process? In these eight brand-new stories, we follow men and women in transition, sometimes by choice, sometimes imposed by unforeseen circumstances. From the Oregon trail to an interstate in Mississippi, from a Tennessee highway to the plains of Texas, people move for better or for worse. The point is. They move. They change. They adapt. They engage in that most human of acts. They migrate and keep moving.

A Little Mist

What is language but a reflection of the soul? Not always logical or predictable, but always human. In this book, the author plays with language as one might paint a picture, choosing colors carefully, experimenting, sketching, sometimes leaving the raw as the finished product. In the end, the effect is hazy, shady, and foggy, the way language can be when you want nothing more than to express the shadows of a deep lake. Stripped down to its bare essentials, this soulful language pierces the heart and digs out the depth of a word. Misty, yes, but also meaningful.
