Whiskey Nipple

This second edition of Doug Frelke's first collection of stories includes a new story, "Sad Country Songs." These stories walk the fine-line of love, from a 15 year-old punk rocker learning to deal with her father's illness, to a sailor coming to terms with his own father's death while delivering death notices for the Navy. Writer Jo-Ann Graziano sums up Whiskey Nipple, saying, "Frelke's stories take us to unfamiliar microcosms that expose the raw heart of human need. We experience the complex tug of life in these stories and yearn for their author to tell us one more."
