Richard Bausch is a master storyteller—a description/phrase that gets thrown around a lot but is pin-point accurate for him. He deftly strips a narrative down to the essence of story so in reading his work, finely represented in this new collection, you want to read it fast because you‘re so engaged you can‘t wait to learn what happens next. The characters are enduring the unpredictable weather of emotions and drama that befalls all of us.

This just arrived and perfectly so on this day of April showers. It's the latest from master storyteller Richard Bausch. Looking forward to diving in. I love the cover.
