This week in the Cold, we&#39;re celebrating Father&#39;s Day by talking about what it takes to make a man - both in fiction and in the Homeric journey of parenting. And yes, they overlap big time - at least for this parent and fiction writer.
If you&#39;re enjoying Cold, please remember to give us a follow and leave a starred review. It means a lot.

Please Stay for the Fireworks! (Some thoughts on the American story.)

Cold is the storyteller's church. It is the way revenge is best served; the way a war was fought; the way a story should be told. Join fiction writer, essayist, and blogger, Victoria Dougherty, to ponder the creative life, and endeavor to look at the stories we tell and the stories we live with a cold eye, but never a cold heart.
