It's no secret that the Finger Lakes region of New York State hosts an outstanding array of authors. Here are 44 of them-ages 23 to 93-writing mostly about this area but also many parts of the earth that are less "centrally isolated." Some authors are already nationally famous, many are locally well-known, and many are soon-to-be discovered. Take a look-you'll probably see the names of people you know or have heard of The editors of Cayuga Lake Books hope you'll enjoy the fascinating short stories, memoirs, essays, and reportage collected here. It represents an even wider variety of material than you'd think possible for such a small region-writing that entertains, stimulates, amuses, and impresses with its intelligence and expansive sensibility.
