Teaser Tuesday: Burnside Field Lizard by Theresa Griffin Kennedy



Darvella wore tattered blue jean cutoffs and a yellow calico halter top that was threadbare and thin, looking as if it came straight from a Goodwill bin. I was heading home from my job as a motel maid, walking east on Burnside when I noticed her large cerulean blue eyes watching me from a short distance away.

-- from the title story in Burnside Field Lizard and Selected Stories, debut fiction inspired by her hometown of Portland, from nonfiction writer and poet Theresa Griffin Kennedy.

  1. I don't read short story collections often enough as I tend to look for that chunk of escapism that lasts a bit longer and deeper than those little gems, but I really should... I hope you like this one. My TT this week is an entertaining space opera that I'm enjoying - https://sjhigbee.wordpress.com/2018/11/06/teaser-tuesday-6th-november-2018-brainfluffbookblog-teasertuesday/
