After it Rains, Bill Haugland's first short story collection, gently probes the human psyche and deftly reveals our foibles.

What happens to a man who faces the loss of home and property after the worst economic downturn in decades? Is a novelist's coma, in fact, a hidden doorway? Can a photograph, found in an antique store, be the key to a turbulent past? What drives a young man to leap from a bridge in a failed suicide attempt? Should a wife and mother decide to abandon her family in a desperate moment of introspection? Does a blind boy possess a talent that borders on the supernatural?

Bill Haugland was news anchor at Montreal’s largest English-language television station for twenty-six years. He is the author of the first Ty Davis novel, Mobile 9 (Véhicule 2009), The Bidding (Véhicule 2011), and the short story collection After it Rains, nominated for the 2014 ReLit Awards.
