In the Quiet Season by Martha Amore

Martha Amore is currently a professor at the University of Alaska, Anchorage where she teaches English.  Her latest release:  In the Quiet Season & Other Stories explores the human landscape of Alaska.  While the stories take place in modern-day towns, each is laced with a timelessness that comes from their roots in ageless issues: broken trust and heartbreak, hope and rebirth.

The expansive Alaska landscape infuses the stories with a unique chill, as tears freeze on eyelashes and mountain ranges form the backdrop for breakups. Although the people in Amore’s stories know how to survive Alaska’s cold terrain, these characters stumble when trying to navigate through their own lives and lost dreams.


“The characters in Amore's debut collection, In the Quiet Season and Other Stories, grapple with issues of trust and love—and sometimes in direct opposition to the expectations of the people in their lives. At their best, these wise and engaging stories radiate a surprising and redemptive light.”
Ron Spatz, editor of Alaska Quarterly Review
