His creative work has appeared in three anthologies including The Path & The Gate (Signature Books, October 2023) where “Lana Turner Has Collapsed!,” this month’s READ LOCAL First feature, debuted.

Pace’s title is lifted from a poem by Frank O’Hara. The short story is a concise, witty and insightful portrayal of a Mormon woman navigating mid-life in 1990s Utah.
