Dry Spell: Tales of Thirst and Longing

A collection of short stories by award-winning novelists Kay Bergstrom and Margaret Coel as well as nine other members of Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, including Liz Hill. The stories in Dry Spell speak to the anthology's title and theme literally, emotionally, symbolically, spiritually, and supernaturally. Dry Spell was the first publication of the RMFW Press.

Midwest Book Review says of Dry Spell:
"Each story is well-crafted and perfectly captures the title, regardless of genre. ... Check this one out. It's well worth the read."

"Dry Spell provides eleven stories that whet and slake the thirst. From the schemes of a gold-digger to the desperation of a circus roustabout, these tales take you into the parched pit of desire."
---Author Stephanie Kane (Blind Spot, Quiet Time, Extreme Indifference, Seeds of Doubt)


Dry Spell is an unusual mix of genres and styles. There's something here for almost every taste.
-- Bruce Holland Rogers, author of Word Work: Surviving and Thriving as a Writer.
