Lara Tupper

Thank you, Rose City Reader Book Blog, for including my forthcoming story collection, AMPHIBIANS!

FIVE NEW INDIE BOOKS TO PRE-ORDER FOR THE NEW YEAR

"OFF ISLAND is a beautiful book, a meditation on love and connection and what it means to feel and breathe and be human. It was a joy to narrate!"

You can listen to a five-minute excerpt of Linda Jones' brilliant interpretation via the link HERE, which includes some salty language and references to Paul Gauguin's very questionable behavior. I hope you'll download the book for all on your festivus list this year. (Gratitude to Findaway, Audible and Encircle Publications.)

"We all were warmed by the grace and beauty of a splendid evening of stories and song; Lara and Bobby are good at both...a heartwarming evening in these unusual times. Thank you, Lara and Bobby, for the gift of you." - Robert Mitchell

A preview of my next book, AMPHIBIANS, a linked short story collection from Leapfrog Press, coming March 2021 (Winner, Leapfrog Fiction Award)! And an announcement, received today, that it will come out as an audiobook from Tantor Audio. So much gratitude. These stories are set in Maine, Italy, Japan and the UAE. They're about "the sensation of feeling not quite right in one's own body, on land and near water, at home and abroad" (Leapfrog). Available for preorder from Bookshop.org

"The work of an extraordinary talent." - Joan Silber

"A compelling, wise and beautiful book."- Ramona Ausubel

"[Tupper's novel is a] study of love relationships: How fulfilling and how devastating they can be, but how central they are to our human experience.

OFF ISLAND. Read it. Love it."

Boothbay Register

"A terrific book...an imagined historical fiction, perfect for summer."
