The White Road

and Other Stories

by Tania Hershman

TheWhiteRoadbyTaniaHersman

What links a café in Antarctica, a factory for producing electronic tracking tags and a casino where gamblers can wager their shoes? They’re among the multiple venues where Tania Hershman sets her unique tales in this spellbinding debut collection.

I first met Tania in November at a writers’ retreat in France, having since enjoyed her friendship even from across an ocean. She’s wonderfully warm, creative, and talented, and it was a pleasure to get to know her, share this experience, and read her stories.

Published in September 2008 by Salt Publishing, The White Road and Other Stories mixes short stories and flash fiction often inspired by science magazine articles. This vivid collection merges Tania’s passions for writing and science, using science and fact as the threads to weave tales of love, loss, friendship, and spirituality.

Tania’s stories have won critical acclaim with several awards; she is the European Regional Winner of the 2008 Commonwealth Broadcasting Association Short Story Competition.

Up for grabs is a signed copy of The White Road and Other Stories. To learn more about both Tania and her book, check out her blog, TaniaWrites, and her site, The White Road and Other Stories.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations to Yana, recipient of Typescript’s March giveaway!

A note from Tania: The site does look gorgeous, Susan, so honoured to be featured on it! If you don’t win my book, there are other ways of getting hold of it ;) . No pressure!

Please check out Tania’s site to find out how to purchase your own copy of The White Road and Other Stories.

Thanks to everyone for participating! Giveaways will be back on April 1st with a new selection.
