Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned by Wells TowerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Nine short stories of relationships, status, and control are characterized by sharp writing and a good eye for metaphor. Tower's tales often involve change and a character's need to adjust as in "Executors of Important Energies" where a son must deal with a father's fading memory as well as the unexpected addition of a stranger to the relationship.
Other stories involve the consequences of infidelity, antagonistic brothers seeking common ground in the killing of a moose, and jaded Vikings hoping to find serenity in raiding one more island. A funny, dark, hopeful collection of well-crafted yarns.

Hi John;
Thanks for the heads up on 'Everything Ravaged...'. I'm big into relationship stories. How can it be purchased?
I have one book on a mother/daughter relationship that redefines ROCKY.
I believe it's available in eBook and soft cover format via Amazon.
Or you could order through your local bookstore.
