While at AWP earlier this spring, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by fellow short story author Jennifer Fliss over at Whale Road Review. Our wide-ranging conversation about how I wrote Horse Show is out now in Issue 35!
Fliss writes: “Jess Bowers’s Horse Show, published with SFWP (Santa Fe Writers Project) in April 2024, is a feat. In a slim but wholly dynamic collection, Bowers skillfully weaves stories from fact and her imagination to bring these incredible animals and compelling characters to explore the exploitation of horses in human industry. In riveting, intelligent, and heartbreaking scenes, Horse Show is like no other book I’ve read.”
High praise from an author I admire!
Be sure to check out Fliss’s own story collections, The Predatory Animal Ball and As If She Had A Say, both out now wherever books are sold!
