TAMMY LETHERER ROGERS
loves her family. She also loves writing fiction. Unfortunately, a houseful of growing children can seldom wait; the writing always can. For almost twenty years, she has been quietly building a body of work that is insightful, funny, familiar, heartbreaking. As Tammy nears a milestone birthday and the completion of her first novel, she continues to squeeze in writing time whenever she can avoid the perils of diapers, tantrums, homework, housework, and really good episodes of The Bachelor.
This book, conceived and compiled by her husband Tony, contains some of her best (in his opinion) short fiction, a stunning one-act play, and an excerpt from chapter one of her as yet untitled novel. It's a breathtaking if mildly disorganized stew of compulsive liars, unconventional theives, neurotic Dutch women, secretive piano tuners, and deadly weapons.
