Andrew Siegrist is a Tennessee native who lives on the Cumberland River outside of Nashville.

His debut collection of short stories - titled, “We Imagined It Was Rain,” to be published tomorrow (Tues 10/12) by Hub City Press - has been described as a love song to this state.

I spoke with Andrew recently, before he appeared at the virtual Southern Festival of Books over the weekend.
