How I Met You

Subtlety, mastery, craftsmanship. The beautiful painful emptiness of “Circle of Stones”. The dark undercurrent of “The Drowned”. Clever insights into the writer’s craft — tossed like seasoning on obsessive ruminations about writers and writing in “In Print” and “The Plagiarist”. And Vodka, the cat in the freezer in “Liebfraumilch”! (That was my material!)

This book is a tease. Read it, you’ll want more.

I've known the author for many years, and happily read these stories in various publications. Having them now collected in one place is simply wonderful. A Circle of Stones, about a boy growing up in Texas, is alone worth the price of admission. Other stories, in Haiti and in the U.S, are equally fine. Please read them!
