The Sense of Falling by Ezra Pines
Eleven stories in all. Two previously unpublished. Two co-written with Richard Bowes. Introduction by Hal Duncan. Afterword by Ezra Pines.
Ezra Pines was born in Bird, Kansas, in 1956. After being graduated by Ottawa High School in Ottawa, Kansas, in the 1970s, he briefly attended University of Kansas-Lawrence. He worked odd jobs and became caretaker of a series of households and farms in several nearby states, ending up back near Bird in the 1990s, where and when he started more seriously pursuing his fiction. Although editor David Rogers of Freezer Burn Magazine once published the note that Pines is a “huge New England Patriots fan,” Pines maintains it is a lie, and that he has no interest in politics.
