Nancy Greene—Goodman is a Virtuoso

Nancy Greene is the author of the award-winning story collection, Portraits in the Dark. She is also fiction editor of the popular literary journal, Tales of Blood and Roses.


Here’s what Nancy Greene said after reading Tracks: A Novel in Stories.

“Eric D. Goodman is a virtuoso; he breathes life into each character in such a way that you want to know everything about them, and each story makes you want to read the next to see how these lives intersect. Even when Tracks ends, it continues in the mind, leaving you wanting to know more, thinking about not only the lives of these multi-faceted characters, but your own life and the lives of those around you. Life is a journey and Tracks captures that feeling in a way that few interconnected story collections do.”

Check out Nancy’s book.
