The Fat of The Land

Everyone has a story ...but not every story has a hero.
This collection of short stories from New Mexico and the Southwest are vignettes from the lives of those who give life to that land, the poor, and disenfranchised ...the outliers. Those who have no one to tell their tale. While some of these narratives are loosely based in fact, they are written with a large dollop of literary license. The characters are not "politically correct" in today's parlance and speak in the vernacular of their time and culture. Some of them you will like ...others you may not. No disrespect or offense is intended in the telling. These are their stories.

The title story "Fat of The Land" was a past runner-up in the national Raymond Carver short story awards and has been featured on public radio.
