About this Event

Joshua Bresslin

Josh Bresslin is the author of Crease. A native of New England, he holds a graduate degree from the Mountainview MFA program, and earned a masters in diplomacy from Norwich University. His next novel, Going Over, comes out this summer.

Crease

Amy “Angie” Nelson was ten when she was rescued from the famed “Dyna Girl Kidnapping.” In the final days of her kidnapping, Amy’s father, Louis, discovered her whereabouts, but was killed by her abductor— her own mother, Cassandra.

Eighteen years later, Cassandra sits in Pr*son, and damaged Amy lives a hermetic life, shunning relationships with everyone but those closest to her—her maternal grandfather and her therapist.

Wanda Greene is an attorney working on Cassandra’s behalf. When she locates Amy and notifies her of Cassandra’s upcoming parole hearing, she hopes that Amy will speak on her mother’s behalf and secure her release. Doubtful of mother’s purported “rehabilitation,” Amy reluctantly agrees to reconnect with Cassandra and make her own determination… and maybe reexamine the reasons for her abduction.

Ian M. Rogers

Ian M. Rogers grew up in New Hampshire before studying literature at Bennington College in Vermont and creative writing at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he learned to write short bios like this one. He's worked as a copy editor, a greenhouse assistant, a school secretary, a grocery clerk, an online test-grader, a housepainter, a gardener, and a teacher of English in Japan. His second novel, Carcrash Parker and the Haven of Larpers, is forthcoming from Vine Leaves Press in July.

MFA Thesis Novel

Creative ne’er-do-well Flip Montcalm isn’t cut out for office life, so he jumps at the chance to join an MFA program in the rural Midwest. Broke and infatuated with the 20th century literary canon, he alienates his writing workshop with five hundred pages of existential dread, can’t name a single player on the university football team, and is actively trying to steal a rival writer’s girlfriend. Flip needs a new novel idea fast, so he turns to his cohorts for help: a career PhD student who hasn’t written in a decade, a professor with no opinions, a narcissist whose novels read like action movies, and a frat boy underplaying his suburban privilege. As he fights off academic conformity and obsessive football fans, Flip faces the challenge of writing a novel that’ll not only satisfy his artistic passions, but might even get him a better job.
