Koewing’s characters stick with you long after they’ve left the page: a couple struggling to cohabitate during the pandemic, a business woman in Denver discovering the shocking truth about a man who ghosted her, an unfaithful wife dealing with the aftermath of her infidelity, a pair of high school friends trying not to drown under the weight of online bullying, a young couple on the lam go on a killing spree across the southwest, a sex trafficked Belarusian woman explains the horrors of her daily life in a Prague sex club, a burnt out sous chef rekindles his love for passion and cooking. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn just 36 pages, through his trademark minimalist prose, Koewing plunges the reader into some of the darkest, most disturbing terrain imaginable in our modern landscape. Then, somehow, a shimmer of light appears and he pulls us to safety, leaving, not a sense of hope, exactly, but a belief that there is always a reason to keep going.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWilson Koewing is from South Carolina.
