About the Author

The members of North Fork Writers Group live on the eastern end of New York's Long Island, but their stories are not all about idyllic lives amid the area's famous beaches and vineyards. Their tales span from ancient times to the 21st century in a range of topics and tones. Some are wry or funny, some are serious or sensitive, but all were chosen to reflect the extent of seven distinctly individual "writers' voices." The seven voices in the group's first volume of short stories are Teresa Taylor, Gene Rackovitch, David Porteous, Kit Storjohann, Joyce DeCordova, Jean Schweibish, and Susan Rosenstreich.
