For more than three decades, Beth Konkoski has been publishing her fiction, poetry, and essays while teaching high school English. Her work has been published in journals such as: Story, Smokelong Quarterly, The Baltimore Review, and Split Lip Magazine. From her childhood days of haiku written inside thank you cards to this collection of fiction, she continues to love the sound of words moving onto a page. She lives in Virginia with her husband and two mostly grown kids and is currently at work on a novel.
