About From Here:

The twelve stories in FROM HERE explore the dislocations and intersections of people searching, running away, staying put. Their physical and emotional landscapes run the gamut, but in the end, they're all searching for a place to call home.

Praise for From Here: 

"From the Chechnyian girl sucked into the drug world, the alcoholic professor who uses his daughter to dodge a rap, from hippie graffiti to the "wet clicking of a bird-like heart," Jen Michalski writes down the beast, and you remember. Strong sentiment, strong stories." - Terese Svoboda, Author of Tin God

"Jen Michalski's characters seem to breathe through the pages of this emotionally expansive collection. Each story is a world in which the reader to linger--not to seek refuge but to gain insight, and perhaps, to find a kindred soul." - Dawn Raffel, author of the Year of Long Division

"This is short fiction at its moody, character-driven best. The people you meet are so vivid and so sympathetic that their joys and sorrows will quickly become your own. I haven't decided which is my favorite story, but I know my favorite line. "Good luck with your broken things." Fantastic." - Matthew Norman, author of Domestic Violets

Sometimes, after my hand had scarred and healed, I’d take a piece of one of Vanessa’s old plate shards and run it along the fleshy ridge, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Always, when I least expected it, it cut me."—"The Queen of Swords," in From Here

8/6/13: The Tide King giveaway!

I'm giving away a copy of my debut novel, The Tide King (Black Lawrence Press) this week because I can't get to the post office enough! Okay, I was being sarcastic, but it is true—I will be heading to the post office soon, and a package of value may be arriving to you shortly.

This contest is easier than making toast, I promise. Enter a comment below (comments close August 15th, 2013), with your full name or first initial and last name and general locale (or just let me know somehow you're a real folk and not a book-eating zombie). If you don't see the comments box on the blog entry, click on the title of the blog post ("8/6/13: The Tide King Giveaway!"). You'll be directed to a new page with the comments box visible on the bottom. (I don't know why it does this, but let's not piss off the blogger Gods.)

If you're selected, I'll contact you for a mailing address and off it goes! (After the contest, I'm disabling the comments, so don't worry about your info. hanging out.)

I hope you enjoy it, and maybe you'll want to rate it on Amazon or Goodreads or tell your book club about it. Or maybe you'll just send me a note—I mean, Jesus, you never write. :(
