Author of Beneath the Veil of Smoke and Ash

Check out the Dead Darlings blog to read my interview with Tammy Pasterick on her debut novel that is set against the grim backdrop of Western Pennsylvania’s steel mills and coal mines, Beneath the Veil of Smoke and Ash,  is a riveting story of immigrant grit and determination in early-20^th-century America. The twisty narrative explores love, longing, duty, and mental illness gripping two immigrant Slovak families and one Slovak boy’s wealthy patroness and her husband.
