“The key to this job is to always remember that you aren’t replacing anyone’s grandmother.”

This opening line of Kevin Wilson‘s short story, “grand stand-in,” leads the reader into a funny yet disturbing world where grandparents are hired for thousands of dollars a year to stand-in as grandma or grandpa if the original is dead, otherwise absent, or unsatisfactory.

Reading this first short story, I was immediately impressed with Kevin Wilson‘s writing . . . I am looking forward to reading more.

We are excited to have Kevin here Monday April, 13 at 5:00 p.m. for a signing and reading.

I know there are other Lemurians who have read the entire collection. Chime in with your thoughts on this new writer from Tennessee!
