My upcoming book from Clear Cut Press, Shoot the Buffalo, has been finished and sent off to the printer. It will be out for What the Heck Fest in mid-July, and at booksellers in September. Here is a PDF of the jacket if you are interested in such things. I’ve posted the first chapter as well.

A review of my new book The Moss Gatheres by Nisi Shawl in today’s Seattle Times.

“Dodging the picturesque, postcard version of our region, the Northwest Briggs brings to his readers is at once stark and lush. From the venomous family secrets exposed in “Dry Farming,” to the backwaters of memory slowly surging through “Snoqualmie,” Seattle author Briggs gets to the emotional core of his characters by showing us how in tune they are with the landscapes actually surrounding them, rather than those we idealize.”
