Praise for the fiction of Al Riske
"The art of the short story is alive and well in the hands of Al Riske, who understands how to walk the tightrope of subtle emotional resonance."
--Catherine Ryan Hyde, author of Pay It Forward, Love in the Present Tense, Chasing Windmills, and many others.
"Riske's characters brim with the fears, desires, and idiosyncracies of real, complex human beings. In the collision of spiritual and sexual concerns that plague them, we find a truth that makes us believers in the power of his fiction."
--Laura Matter, Blue Mesa Review
