In this Under the Covers episode, we meet Michael Croley, author of “Any Other Place.”

Silas House, author of “Southernmost” says: “Like the best writers, Michael Croley takes us into the lives of ordinary people who have been thrust into extraordinary circumstances of everyday life…[it’s] one of the most exciting and beautiful story collections to come down the literary pike in a long time…”

In the story, “Slope,” which is featured on the show, a failed relationship forces a man to confront the echoes of his past and the silence of his future.
