COMETS has been announced as a finalist in the 2021 AMERICAN FICTION AWARDS for literary fiction. The twelve-story, linked collection, Comets, follows through-line protagonist, Rob erto, as he grows from a working teenager influenced by the men in his father’s cabinet shop, to a disillusioned 42, unwittingly trying to fill his father’s shoes, while searching for a deeper understanding of himself and his life. Set in Ybor City, Tampa’s Latin Quarter, the stories capture a microcosm of blue collar problems, with implications that go beyond economic and cultural boundaries, illuminating a greater understanding of the human experiences we all share, while loss of childhood resonates as an overarching theme.Genre: Fiction (Short stories)ISBN: 978-1-950730-45-2Publication Date: July 14, 2020 Show more
