Heat of the Moment

In HEAT OF THE MOMENT, originally published in the webzine The Quarterly Staple and named by StorySouth's Million Writers Award one of the Notable Stories of 2005, Richard Grayson introduces two mismatched friends who meet after a 1969 Far Rockaway High School production of Cole Porter's "Anything Goes" and then takes them through four decades of hot times in Spain, New York City, Florida, Southern California and the Arizona desert. “Wherever Grayson casts his gaze, he manages to isolate panoramas of city and small town life in America from the 60s to the present.” – American Book Review
