TAKE A LOOK AT OUR SEPTEMBER TALENT
Kate Milliken is the author of the 2013 Iowa Short Fiction Award-winning collection of stories, If I’d Known You Were Coming. A graduate of the Bennington College Writing Seminars, she has received fellowships from the Vermont Studio Center and the Tin House Summer Writer’s Workshop and her short stories have appeared in Fiction, Zyzzyva, Santa Monica Review, and New Orleans Review, among others. Her work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, anthologized in the California Prose Directory, New Writing from the Golden State, and received runner-up for the Rick DeMarinis award as well as the Dana Award for the Novel.
Kate grew up riding horses in Topanga Canyon, California, in the early 1990s and it was to that time and those dusty trails that she returned as inspiration for her debut novel, Kept Animals. Praised by Janet Fitch in the New York Times Book Review and named by O. Magazine as an LGBTQ novel that will change the literary landscape in 2020, Kept Animals is a multigenerational story of friends and lovers, mothers and daughters, and a tragic accident that changes the lives of three very different families forever. Kate lives in Northern California with her family.
Nora Rodriguez Camagna grew up in the California Migrant Labor Camps, and in Texas and Mexico and graduated from the University of California at Berkeley. She has been a fellow at many juried writer workshops, most recently at Lit Camp in California. She has studied under Tommy Orange, Karen E. Bender, Anthony Marra, Jane Smiley, Gabriela Garcia and Ingrid Rojas Contreras. When Nora isn't writing, she teaches creative writing to underserved students through 916 Ink, a Sacramento non-profit literacy organization. Nora lives in California with her husband and is the proud mother of three sons.
CINNAMON BREAD UNDER THE CHERRY TREE, Nora’s debut novel, is a family saga that explores the struggles of a middle-class Mexican family when their only son, non-Spanish speaking high school baseball star Raúl Salinas, is imprisoned in Mexico. When Raúl’s sister Clara learns her parents plan to bribe Raul out of prison, she insists they call the American Embassy and hire a lawyer, but Ramón and Celia fear for their only son’s life. They believe in his innocence and they know that in Mexico, justice is unpredictable, and can be determined by individuals rather than the law.
