The Day Before It Rained is an eclectic collection of short stories, from quirky portraits to tales of LGBTQ+ relationships to eccentric takes on friendship, romance, and everything in between. From period pieces to modern day, from the magical to the mundane, from the heart of Kansas to the Yorkshire moors to the Tunisian desert, the stories span the years, travel the globe, and explore the spectrum of emotions as his characters discover love, loss, hope, and fear--in other words, the dubious joy of being human.
