"Delightfully inventive and large of heart, Burner is a collection that reveals, and revels in, every facet of what it is to be human and fallible . . . a debut full of grace, forgiveness, and startling beauty."

-Louise Marburg, author of You Have Reached Your Destination

Katrina Denza writes women in conflict: attempting to woo a man via a burner phone, discovering the best friendships are those grounded in reality, subscribing to a hologram service to speak to a deceased husband, reclaiming power only to realize power is an illusion, discovering there is no safe haven, confronting the frustrations of being an artist, and reckoning with mistakes made as a mother. Wrestling with connections and disconnections, highs and lows, and the vagaries of modernity, Burner and Other Stories shows us how we live today.

"Seductive, smart, and funny."

-Jill McCorkle, author of Old Crimes

"Original, deftly crafted, the short stories comprising "Burner and Other Stories" showcase author Katrina Denza's exceptional storytelling skills that raise her anthology to an impressive level of literary excellence...unreservedly recommended."

- Midwest Book Review
