Lara Tupper: Swift Ink Stories

20 Years

I'm thrilled to announce the forthcoming publication of my new book, AMPHIBIANS, in the US and UK (Leapfrog Press/Can of Worms Press) on March 15, 2021. This short story collection has taken many years to hatch.

Q: Over how long a period did you write the stories collected in Amphibians?
 
A: Twenty years! I like to take my time with these things. The stories take place in Maine, California, Italy, Grenada, Japan, and the United Arab Emirates. I traveled to some of these places and imagined others. The collection represents years of wandering, writing and evolving (I hope) as a human.

Thanks to Deborah Kalb for asking great questions in this recent interview. I hope you'll join me online for book events this month to help me celebrate the launch. (Please see below for event details.)
