We’re proud to announce our first collection of short fiction – Blue Ice and Other Stories from the Rink. Written by our very own Frank Ewert, these six short stories all have something to do with hockey, but more than that, they’re about people. We sat down and asked Frank what that means, what he thinks of fiction, and (*gasp*) which story is his favorite.

For those of you in and around Moscow, Idaho, please join us this Saturday (May 9th) from 2:00-3:30 pm for a book signing at the Bucer’s Bookend.
