'Somewhere North of Here' is a collection of short stories and essays. It very purposefully blurs the traditional lines of prose, and forces the question of the difference between fiction and nonfiction. I believe there is truth in much of the fiction, and a little bit of fiction in some of the truth. And I guess what interests me most is how it is that sometimes an everyday event is simply that, while other times the simplest occurrence can change the course of a life. This collection examines where it is these events may leave the characters living through them. They are all real. Stories, that is.
