Here is an excerpt:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Whether it\u2019s a story about a gritty family managing to function or about a young woman growing horns, <em>Wild Life\u00a0<\/em>illustrates just how meaningful very short fiction can be. We\u2019ve got surface-level stories here, plots and character arcs and all of the wonderful things that keep us engaged as readers, but beneath the surface, these actions and evocative scenes carry weight, showing us the best, worst, and strongest in human nature. Each story is precise yet detailed, wasting no time in telling a tale that\u2019ll keep you looking inward.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Read the rest of the review <a href=\"https:\/\/independentbookreview.com\/2019\/06\/13\/book-review-wild-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HERE.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>U.S. residents may order a signed copy from me <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kathy-fish.com\/?page_id=7761\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Or the book may be ordered directly from <a href=\"http:\/\/matterpress.com\/wild\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Matter Press.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I will also be bringing copies to the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flashfictionfestival.com\/workshops\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Flash Fiction Festival in Bristol, UK<\/a> later this month for anyone there who&#8217;d like to purchase a signed copy.<\/p>\n<p>Abundant thanks as always to Randall Brown at Matter Press for his faith in and support of my work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many thanks to Joe Walters at Independent Book Review for this kind review of WILD LIFE: COLLECTED WORKS.
