Ammon Smith - Short Stories
Ammon Smith, a native Washingtonian, is the author of several short stories - among them
Desert
Snakes (2016) and
Jenni Button's Journey Home (2016). One
reviewer describes Smith
as a tremendously compelling writer, with the ability to draw up complex
characters, vivid descriptions, poetic phrasing, and page-turning plot twists.
Smith's most recent book
That One Day (2017) takes a
look at several different lives - a father watching his little girl blossom
into a little lady on her sixteenth birthday, a man searching for the courage
to end his life, a boy with a gun. One day the lives of each one of the
characters are shattered and in the years that follow they search for the
pieces for another chance. The book is, ultimately, a story of loss, love, and
the price of hope.
