Same with The Best Possible Experience. Pantheon was @likaluca for me. Heartbroken.
Chain-Gang All-Stars is a Pantheon book because Lisa Lucas was wise enough to hire my incredible editor when she was building the team.

Replying to @NishanthInjam
@NishanthInjam is such a thoughtful writer. It was a pleasure interviewing him about his debut collection as a guest host. Thank you to Nishanth and @ShortStoryToday for the opportunity to talk short stories and life.
OUT NOW! Nishanth Injam was raised in Telangana, India, and now lives in the US in the Chicago area. His debut story collection, THE BEST POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE, is a NY Times Editor's Choice pick. Stanley Stocker (Ep 42) takes over the mic for this one. shortstorytoday.com

We also bonded on the idea/l of workshopping in MFA programs, so I really appreciated @NishanthInjam 's rebellion against conventional plot, writing as healing/preservation, writing for oneself, etc. etc. Please share.
