PJ Piccirillo's stories, rich in northern Appalachian character and landscape, are inspired by the people of the timberlands and red-brick industrial burgs of Pennsylvania's Allegheny Plateau, where his ancestors settled to work farms, tanneries, mines and rail sections. PJ's acclaimed novel Heartwood was recently released by Middleton Books. His short fiction has appeared in numerous journals, most recently The Laurel Review and Ellipsis, and he has twice won the Appalachian Writers Association award for short fiction.
