Alice Kaltman is the author of the story collection STAGGERWING, the novels WAVEHOUSE, THE TANTALIZING TALE OF GRACE MINNAUGH, and DAWG TOWNE. Her linked story collection, ALMOST DEADLY, ALMOST GOOD, came out in November of 2022. Alice’s stories appear in journals like Lost Balloon, The Pinch, Joyland, Hobart, and BULL, and in numerous anthologies. She’s not thrilled by the sound of her own voice, but you might like it. If so, you can hear her read her work at Micro Podcasts, Elevator Stories, and No Contact. Alice splits her time between Brooklyn and Montauk, NY, where she lives, surfs, and swims with her husband, the sculptor Daniel Wiener and Ollie the Wonder Dog.
