My latest short story, “Islands,” is now live in the April issue of the Front Porch Review. <– Click to read.

I was thrilled to receive the following in my email by a reader of this story:

Ms. Cooper,

I just wanted to say BRILLIANT!
I’ve just read your piece in the Front Porch Review and it evoked for me many memories and feelings about my relationship with my mother. The details, obliviously, are not the same, but the spirit of the unknown, the possible causes of what was behind my mother’s behavior towards me, came bursting through to me in your story.

Thank you,

Sincerely,

Needless to say, this email made my day.
I hope you will enjoy this story, as well. If you do, reviews are always appreciated.
