Thank you Leslie Jill Patterson, Josh Luckenbach, and everyone at Iron Horse Literary Review for including “Steady As A Surgeon” in Volume 25.2, the Party Issue. In the editor’s note, Leslie Jill Patterson describes the story “in which a grief-stricken woman seduces someone on the wagon to fall off of it.” I’m looking forward to reading all of the stories and poems in this issue.
