Learning to Kiss
in the Snow
ISBN-13- 978-1539476269
"Learning to write is like learning to kiss in the snow. I know that statement makes no sense at first glance but I will do my best to explain what is, to me, alien at best. Sometimes it takes great planning and care to get the moment just right. And sometimes it’s better if you just man up and do it. You might enter into it thinking, “What’s the worst thing that can happen?” And sometimes the worst thing surprises you. But every once in awhile, every once in a blue moon, magic happens. These stories are like that… like both ‘that’s." - D.B. Tarpley
