NEXT TIME YOU’RE IN SEATTLE…
Stop by the beautiful public library downtown. They not only have copies of The Lockhart Women on their shelves, they also have invited Seattle-area fiction authors to share their short stories in their very cool Short Story Dispensers.
Two stories by my friend Stephanie Barbé Hammer were selected. Stephanie is a 6-time Pushcart Prize nominee in fiction, nonfiction and poetry as well as a wonderful teacher and generous human being.
Check out this video that explains how the dispenser works. You can choose a one-minute, three-minute or five-minute read. We printed out the one-minute read because we were in a hurry to buy the ducks and the sticker from the gift shop. The story was terrific and so was the shopping.
