THE HAMILTON STONE REVIEW ~~~ Fall, 2004 (Issue No. 4)
All Fiction Issue
Featuring Members of the Hamilton Stone Collective
We hope in this issue to give a sampling of Hamilton Stone writers, whose reading of the human condition varies as widely as their style. But let them speak for themselves in their Appalachian, New York, Southern, Midwestern accents.

Carole Rosenthal's fiction has been published in many magazines ranging from Transatlantic Review to Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine. Her stories appear in Other Voices, Confrontation, The Cream City Review, Mother Jones, and elsewhere. They have been reprinted in anthologies, including Powers of Desire, Love Stories for New Women, Mystery Bag, Secrets, Foreign Affairs, and WomanSpace, and they have been dramatized for radio and television, most recently by Italy's RAI network. Rosenthal's short story collection, It Doesn't Have to Be Me (Hamilton Stone Editions) has been cited for its "wry and compelling" humor and "fascinating glimpse beneath the surface of everyday life at ideas that would otherwise go unexplored."
