The Heart of the Universe Is a Hole

The first volume of Fraidy Cat Quarterly is now available! You can find it on Amazon or other sites, but if you order it from Fraidy Cat Press, you get the ebook with purchase. Very cool!

My contribution to this volume, “The Heart of the Universe Is a Hole,” is a tale of tragedy and the obsession that can emerge from pain. Professor Phil Grant still mourns the death of his wife, and he was caught unprepared by the loneliness that occupies his days after his son flies off to college.

When Phil finds himself standing in his backyard at night, gazing at the blank spaces between the stars, he begins to wonder whether the emptiness inside him might be a response to something that should lie beyond reach.

Check out Fraidy Cat Quarterly #1 for this and seven other stories, as well as two beautiful pieces of art by Oladosu Michael Emerald!
