Full Details on AN UNEXPECTED VISIT

Three short months from now, in October, my third book, An Unexpected Visit, will be available in both e-book and print formats.

What makes Visit different from my previous releases is that this one isn't a novel. It's novella length - about half as long as Seeing and The Painted Lady.

Because I don't want to short anyone, I've included some "special features" - nine additional micro stories to make up for the...length. Full details below.

From my publisher, Winter Goose Publishing:

Look for the upcoming novella, An Unexpected Visit, by Joseph Falank, author of the hit YA fiction novel Seeing, and the adult fiction novel The Painted Lady, later this year.

There are fates worse than death.

In his early thirties, Noah Adams writes of the turning point in his life: a long weekend spent in the company of his estranged father, Scott, a Special Forces soldier who had been gone two years. During their stay in a remote farmhouse out in the Pennsylvania countryside, Noah recalls encountering both bizarre behaviors and horrifying truths.

It is this visit that has shaped the man, husband, and father he has become. For better and for worse.

Along with the titular novella, which headlines the book, the nine additional micro stories are as follows:

• The Morning After, and Answering The Call - The first two stories I ever had published; they were originally included in issues of RiverLit magazine (which, unfortunately, has since gone on indefinite hiatus).
• Confessions, and At Sundown - Two never-before-published micro stories selected just for this release.
• The Tales Of The Painted Lady series - Last summer, in the lead-up to The Painted Lady's release, I wrote a series of five stories that were from the point-of-view of different characters from the book, taking place right before the events of the novel. The stories are titled: Moving Dad, For Rent, Anniversary, At All Costs, and From Downstairs.
