Thanks again to Mr. McTaggart and Cat Pleska, Mountain State Press and everyone involved in making Diner Stories come to life.
I'm excited beyond belief to read everyone's stories. I'm familiar with the work of many of these authors, including Joey Madia, Jolene Paternoster, Stephen Anthony George, Sarah Blizzard Robinson, Eric Fritzius, Jason Jack Miller, Scott Emerson, William F. DeVault, Mary Lucille DeBerry, Frank Lanerd, and others. I thank all these folks for inspiring me over the years and being so generous with their time and sharing their work. Way to go everyone!
I'm also excited to get to know the work of some of the authors on this list who I haven't yet read.
I'm hoping I'll be able to see these authors in person soon and get them to sign my copy of Diner Stories, so I can add it to my growing library/collection of West Virginia literature!
Keep up the great work everyone! Look forward to seeing you at literary events this year. Much love.
