Seeking the Link

Nearly half of the fourteen (+ one) stories in Seeking the Link have appeared elsewhere in print. Several won awards, of the local variety. Each is a short study in detail of a few moments in the lives of the ordinary people who inhabit the words. These often atmospheric stories are at turns quirky, moody, nostalgic, or pleasingly silly. All are written in a voice Ethan Mordden described as “surprisingly self assured.” There’s something to please everyone in Capehart’s debut fiction collection. Two of these stories appeared in the Dayton Daily News “Leaving” and “Accidents.” Two appeared in the online edition of the Dayton Daily News “Back Roads” and “Working to See the Cup.” “Skipping Stones” appeared in The Wooster Review. “Pictures” was published first in Christopher Street and then translated into Dutch and published under the title “foto’s” in Uitkomst.
