This eclectic collection comprises a variety of expertly crafted tales – from a teacher’s scary night ride on a frozen lake, broken dreams, growing up with a Greatest Generation father, the tragedy of losing a son, and an apocalyptic fantasy. The collection also includes The Fallacy of Closure, winner of the 2016 Writer’s Digest Literary Competition, and two bonus chapters from the upcoming Parker Havenot novel from Southard’s popular detective series.
