With an aching, reflective voice, the author recounts the fraught but loving relationship between father and son in the midst of a strike that stresses a town...The story’s ruminative tone and sharp, spare prose...left me gutted at story’s end. - contest judge, author Michael Croley
"The Vigil"

Winner, Able Muse Write Prize for Fiction, judged by Bret Lott
"The Vigil" does what great short stories do: Through the smallest of apertures, we have rendered for us an entire world, whole and broken at once...This story of guilt, of confession, and of the residual terror of oppression...is a terrific piece that shows us the quiet majesty of story itself. - contest judge, bestselling author Bret Lott
