Book Launch Party at Black Swan

Last night at Black Swan Books & Music in Staunton we launched Everywhere Stories: Short Fiction from a Small Planet, my new anthology from Press 53. About 30 people were in attendance on a rainy Friday night. And it was great to have four of the book’s 20 contributors. Teresa Hudson, from Powhatan, Virginia, read from “The Art of Living,” her story set in St. Petersburg, Russia. Jay Kauffmann, from Crozet, Virginia, read from “In the German Garden,” his story set in Berlin, Germany. Joseph Cavano, from Charlotte, North Carolina, read from “The Widow’s Tale,” his story set in Italy. And Holly Painter, from Singapore, read from “Jean,” her story set in New Zealand.
