Saw Palm and 15 Views Combined Release Party

3/22/2013

Come help us celebrate the release of Saw Palm volume 7! We've got a big party planned for Sunday, March 24 from 2-4 p.m. at The Oxford Exchange, 420 W. Kennedy Blvd. in Tampa. We're combining forces with Burrow Press and their just-released 15 Views Volume II: Corridor, which features a pair of linked story collections from 30 amazing writers in Tampa Bay and Orlando. Come dressed as something Floridian for the costume contest. There will be live music, a raffle, a blast of readings by great local writers, and book signings, too. We hope to see you there!

15 Views of Orlando Delivers Un-Disneyfied Orlando in Mouse-Sized Bites
Darrell Nicholson

The aim of the short story collection 15 Views of Orlando (Burrow Press, 176 pp., $15, January 2012) appears deceptively simple: fifteen talented fiction writers set out to paint a literary portrait of the “other” Orlando, the raw un-Disneyfied reality that exists beyond the wall that Walt built. But exploring any swath of urban sprawl through fiction, particularly one as schizophrenic as Orlando-outside-the-turnstiles, requires some sleight of hand.
