The late Sheila Schwartz is the author of the Etruscan novel Lies Will Take You Somewhere (2008). She has also authored Imagine a Great White Light, a short story collection (Pushcart Press, 1993). Her work has appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, Ploughshares, and Triquarterly, as well as in anthologies such as The O. Henry Prize Stories and The Pushcart Prize. She was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1993 and an Ohio Arts Council Grant in 2005.
I was lucky to have Sheila as a creative writing instructor at CSU. She was an amazing coach. I love her short stories... especially the one about the uncle.
