To order signed copies:
http://www.stefaniefreele.com/id25.html


Back Cover Blurb: A woman hides from her husband in a fish tank and another absently bakes sponges inside her tarts. Appliances drop from the sky, men grapple with chainsaws, women struggle with hormonal violence, and abandoned boys beg on doorsteps. Enter into the territory of broken people and the folks that love them. Sensitive and unruly, sincere and absurd, Stefanie Freele’s Feeding Strays is a collection of fifty short stories, both slipstream and modern, about children, family, relationships, and oysters.

"These expert, graceful mini-portraits of the life-jostled, the uncallused,
and all the others who struggle with familyhood, are moving, sensitive, funny, and true. Stefanie Freele is a writer with a grip on the human spirit. "
—Deb Olin Unferth, author of Vacation

Announcing: Sherrie Flick's New Novel: "Reconsidering Happiness"



University of Nebraska Press presents "Reconsidering Happiness" a novel by Sherrie Flick.
To order:
The two silent Ss of Des Moines beckon twenty-three-year-old Vivette with a sexy finger, and a promise. So, in the mid-1990's, she convinces Grandpa Joe-Joe to sell his Buick for twenty dollars, leaves behind her friends, her job at a hip New England bakery, and an affair with a married man, and moves to Iowa. Margaret who left the same bakery years earlier on her own restless quest, offers pointers from her cautiously settled Nebraska life.
In a story of lust and longing, love and loneliness, dissapointment and desire, stretching from the East Coast to the West, these two pioneering women navigate through secrets, lies, decisions, and compromises, shared over pool tables, postcards, and shots of whiskey. Starting up, starting over, slowing down, they crisscross each other's lives like highways on a map, always escaping, flying toward a dreamt future, and trying to avoid the charted course.
