For my next read in the short story path of my journey I will be reading what is tentatively titled "Murphy’s Sampler." Unpublished–as yet. The author is one of our Narratives members who writes exceptionally well in style and voice, and has the ability to see the story in the commonplace that gives his fiction a depth that makes for enjoyable and thought-provoking reading.
Jim Murphy has been published in otto, but we’d like to push him further along with his own collection of short stories, and so are in the process of selecting, editing and putting together this first step right now.
While I won’t be commenting or reviewing Jim’s work here, we will let you know the details of publication as soon as we have them. In the meantime, I’ll as well be selecting a book from my hearth as next up for review, and digging as well into the past to learn the present and the future.
