Just One Thing with Marvin Shackelford

Our October issue is fresh from the literary oven, and coming in hot is Marvin Shackelford. Marvin is the author of this month's featured flash, "Trying To Put It Away." Here he shares with us some truly spectacular pups and just one thing about his flash, truth, and fiction:

"The Braves were in Colorado and the Reds in Pittsburgh the night my grandmother died, but I'd have sworn that's who I heard playing on TV. I had to consult schedules. There's never more than bits and pieces of my life in my fiction, but I reckon I'm lying even when I'm not."
