  Here's what readers are saying ...
  
  "Al Riske ... understands how to walk the tightrope of subtle emotional resonance."
  - Catherine Ryan Hyde, author of Pay It Forward, Love in the Present Tense, and Chasing Windmills, among many others.
  
  "Riske's characters brim with the fears, desires, and idiosyncrasies of real, complex human beings."
  - Laura Matter, Blue Mesa Review
  
  "A hugely talented writer, Al Riske beautifully captures the nuanced behavior of relationships and the universal struggle to understand why we do what we do."
  - Rachel Canon, author of The Anniversary
  
  "His prose is so sharp and the characters sketched so vividly that I was transported right into the world he created."
  - Mark Richardson, author of "Tattoo Woman" and other stories
  
  "The writing is Hemingway lean and it's clear that one of Riske's strongest gifts as a storyteller is his witty dialogue."
  - Gretchen Clark, author of "This Is a Woman" and other essays
  
  "I love Riske's writing. Sometimes sparse and sometimes poetic, it is always precise in the images and feelings it evokes."
  - Judy Clement Wall, Zebra Sounds
  
  "His characters all have complexities that are very realistic and will resonate with readers."
  - Book Club Queen
  
  "There's something about Al Riske's writing ... He says so much with just a few words set off in quotation marks that you feel as if each line of dialogue has whole chapters behind it."
  - Doug Edwards, author of I'm Feeling Lucky by Alster
