The passionately written book of short stories, Flashes of War, will be released Memorial Day. 

Illuminating the intimate, human faces of war, this unique series of short stories by award-winning author Katey Schultz questions the stereotypes of modern war by bearing witness to the shared struggles of all who are touched  by it. Numerous characters—returning U.S. soldier and pragmatic jihadist, Afghan mother and listless American sister, courageous amputee and a ghost  that cannot let go—appear in Flashes of War, which captures personal moments of fear, introspection, confusion, and valor in one collection spanning nations and perspectives. Written in clear, accessible language with startling metaphors, this unforgettable journey leaves aside judgment, bringing us closer to a broader understanding of war by focusing on individuals, their motivations, and their impossible decisions. Flashes of War weaves intimate portrayals of lives affected by the War on Terror into a distinctive tapestry of emotional resonance. It builds bridges, tears them down, and sends out a universal plea for reconnection FLASHES OF WAR is the work of a bold, ambitious, and brilliant young author who is writing stories few others in American fiction have really yet tackled.” – Doug Stanton, author of New York Times Bestsellers, Horse Soldiers and In Harm’s Way Release: May 27, 2013 Publisher: Loyola University's Apprentice House ISBN: 978-1-934 074-85-5 Price: $16.95 Pages: 172 Size: 6" x 9"
