Peter John Rizzo, a 1960 graduate of Yale University's journalism program, inherits a floundering art magazine from his uncle, John Rizzo, with the provision that he must increase the circulation or forfeit all assets to creditors.

Peter Rizzo, Pete's father, is a banker who scorns careers in the Arts and Humanities, and is jealous of his late brother's influence upon his wife and son.

Classic Art Expose's devoted but unorthodox editorial assistant, Jason, and two university interns, sisters Shirley and Evie, help Pete start a monthly short story contest with artwork prompts, hoping to expand and save the business.

As the four friends publish the winning (and sometimes disturbing) stories over the following eighteen months, Pete battles his father's attempts to ruin his business and his reputation, and in the process, discovers a sordid family secret. What else could possibly go astray?

Dibuduo, Joe: - Joe DiBuduo is a retired commercial painter, and a budding sculptor and glass artisan who stays busy filling his front yard with giant sculptures and checking off adventures on his bucket list. He earned a certificate in Creative Writing from Yavapai College in Prescott, Arizona (2009).Robinson, Kate: - AKA @katerwriter, Kate Robinson began her literary career writing bad poetery at age ten. After (sorta) growing up and working as a grocery clerk, nursing assistant and home health aide, city bus driver, museum aide, a variety of office assistant positions, and K-12 substitute teacher, all while studying (BA 1999, MA 2010) and raising a family, more scribbling looked like a suitable diversion. Now she promises to always dance with paradox and absurdity while she whacks words in redwood glades and on beaches along the California coast.
