Sharp as a Serpent’s Tooth - Eva and Other Stories by Mandy Haynes "Mandy Haynes writes about the poor and damaged, about simple folks with fire and crazy pulsing through their veins. In the story "Eva" she displays the ugly drippings of an evil soul beside the strength and wisdom of a child. With a warped sense of humor and an eye for sweet revenge, Haynes, in her collection of short stories "Sharp as a Serpent's Tooth," reveals herself to be an emerging talent with a command of southern dialogue and a tendency to create dirt-under-the-fingernails characters. She'll be around for the long haul." Brenda Sutton Rose, author of Dogwood Blues, nominated for 2015 Georgia Author of the Year for First Novel, nominated for a 2018 Pushcart Prize in Fiction for her short story "Samuel's Wife". "Mandy Haynes captures the authentic southern stories readers love. She writes, not with stereotypes readers can spot from a mile away, but with wisdom which comes from the calloused hands of a great author." Renea Winchester, author of Outbound Train. ISSUE NO 14
