Michael Cotter was always a storyteller; but he didn’t get to grow fully into that role from the beginning.
“Cut out those damn stories and get some work done around here!” That was my most dreaded message from my dad. Our farm was a livestock farm and it was pretty labor intensive in the early years.
Happily for his readers, he did get around to it, however. I’m really enjoying this collection. The title story “The Killdeer” comes especially recommended.
This quotation comes from an uncorrected advance proof and is subject to change.
