Back Cover Blurb: A woman hides from her husband in a fish tank and another absently bakes sponges inside her tarts.

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. "

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.

Contributor News: Barry Graham's The National Virginity Pledge
Now available - Barry Graham's The National Virginity Pledge - Short Stories and other Lies
http://www.anothersky.org/in-print/the-national-virginity-pledge-barry-graham/
Praise for The National Virginity Pledge!
“Barry Graham’s heroes want to love, yet bigger than their love for people and things is their capacity to destroy the objects of their affection. He doesn’t scorn them, though; he treats them with care and a loving tenderness. He turns grief, betrayal, and violence into something close to poetry, and finds beauty in places we should never wish to visit.”–Stefan Kiesbye, Next Door Lived a Girl (Low Fidelity Press)
“…with its clipped, achingly real dialogue, and its effortless and vivid description, it achieves a relentless undercurrent of: “Look closer: there is more.”"–Mary Lynn Reed, 5 Star Literary Stories
“Barry Graham’s stories are little cries for help from way in the corners and deep in the cracks of contemporary fiction.”–Jeff Parker, Ovenman (Tin House)
“Barry Graham’s writing hits hard because it is raw and honest. He will suck you in with equal parts everydayness and voyeurism.”–Aaron Burch, Hobart: Another Literary Journal
“…it remains a funny, reckless, fast paced, and edgy voice from beginning to end.”–Dan Wickett, Emerging Writers Network
