Hope to meet this Chris La Tray someday who I can tell is hands down one helluva guy and fabulous writer. Thanks, Chris, for opening this up to allow folk to post about their work. I'm a writer who has written a few books - including a book of poems "Goodbye Yellowstone Road" about nostalgia and finding your way home; a book of short stories "The Broken World" and a crime noir book "A Killer Story" that takes place in Montana, Portland, and New Orleans. The poetry and short story collections were both finalists in the High Plains Book Awards (2023, 2022). They are available at Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, and the behemoth that begins with A that we all know. I self-published them and then started my own label - Tiny Road Books - since many writing contests no longer accept self-published books. Lastly, I'm a big Jim Harrison fan (and James Lee Burke and A.B. Guthrie too). Harrison's poems and essays are so damn fantastic, smart and hilarious. What a hoot and ornery-lookin' cuss that guy was! Thank you for bringing him up, Sir Poet Laureate La Tray!
