About Me
- Diane Simmons
- I'm a writer originally from Eastern Oregon, now living in the greater New York City area, which is to say Jersey. My short story collection, Little America, has won the 2010 Ohio State University award for fiction and was published by OSU Press in June. I've put up first paragraphs to the title story and another story from the collection, "Yukon River." I've also put up some New York stories, not in the Little America collection. The "souvenir" in the story of that title is from Auschwitz. "Starry Night" is set at the Temple Bar in Greenwich Village. In "Dominicans," dancing eases death. dianesimmons@verizon.net -
