15

by J.S. Kierland

Overview

15 of the best short stories from author and playwright J.S. Kierland.

REVIEWS:
"J.S. Kierland is that rare writer, one who can deal with both urban and rural themes in masterful fashion. This gift allows him to write about a wide range of disparate characters and settings with astonishing precision and power. His taut prose style, innate sense of drama and ability to look at life in an unflinching but always compassionate way are everywhere in evidence in this remarkable collection of stories." --Willard Manus editor/publisher of lively-arts.com; author of Mott The Hoople.

"In 15, Kierland focuses on the human elements of worlds that have more rust than gold. His stories stand strong because they are so real." --Jeff Provine, author.
