“…the characters in “Houses” are unsettled and the reasons why this is so form the text, and a very good text it is…loss, jealousy, false friendship, the sense of one’s identity – Boston deals with all of these with skill and feeling…in “Houses” he has given us a search for belonging, a fine portrait of the emotional shelter we all seek.” –Charles Fabrizio, Editor, Remark

Bruce Boston is the author of fifty books and chapbooks, including the novels The Guardener's Tale and Stained Glass Rain. His writing has received the Bram Stoker Award, a Pushcart Prize, the Asimov's Readers Award, and the Grand Master Award of the Science Fiction Poetry Association.
