Today's feature at the Page 99 Test — where the author put the Page 69 Test to his story collection as well — is Steven McDermott's Winter of Different Directions.
Because Winter of Different Directions is a collection of twenty stories written in different styles, the double-barreled approach of using both tests works out well.
Steven J. McDermott — editor and publisher of the literary journal STORYGLOSSIA and its accompanying litblog — has had his stories published in numerous online and print journals, now you can hear him read the stories on his podcast.
Visit McDermott's website, his MySpace page, and the STORYGLOSSIA website.
