Annie Reed

Eight from the Silver State Annie Reed

Award-winning writer Annie Reed likes to scare us, charm us, haunt us, and make us fall in love. She does all of this and more in this collection of stories set in her home state of Nevada.

A lonely desert highway provides the backdrop for a mother and daughter facing an uncertain future in "Night Passage." A simple day at a man-made lake turns out to be anything but in "Lady of the Deep." In "For a Few Lattes More," a barista encounters a hero from her childhood, while a former party girl faces the toughest decision of her life in "Bait." Life in witness protection takes a sudden left turn for a former hitman in "Night of the Cruisers." Luck runs cold for the petty thief of "Strike Two," while the world itself chills down for the old motel owner of "One Sun, No Waiting." And in "Love Among the Llamas," a woman finds unexpected romance waiting around a bend in the road.
