      <image:title>Writing - Every Human Love: stories - EVERY HUMAN LOVE (Acre Books, 2019)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Finalist for the Shirley Jackson Awards, the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize for Fiction, and the Foreword INDIES Awards. The fourteen stories in Every Human Love redefine our sense of reality. Set seemingly in the quotidian, these tales veer into the unexpected, the uncomfortable, occasionally the eerie, thrusting characters in crisis into still greater quandaries, where the world of weddings and work, of frustrated hopes and mundane dissatisfactions, collides with a realm of legend, of fairy tale, of nightmare. Available for purchase at Bookshop.org, Amazon, Univ of Chicago Press, Barnes &amp; Noble, or your favorite local independent bookstore.</image:caption>
