From the collection Nothing but the Dead and Dying
During his years in the majors, Floyd Patterson had pitched for everyone—Oakland, Cleveland, Cincinnati, even the Marlins. Now he’s an Anchorage Lumberjack, and no one, perhaps not even Patterson himself, has any idea what the hell he’s doing toeing the rubber in Alaska’s Moose League. But when Jennifer Tisch of the Anchorage Daily News goes looking for a story, she soon learns there’s much more to the tough-talking, hard-drinking Patterson than meets the eye.
Ryan W. Bradley has pumped gas, changed oil, painted houses, swept the floor of a mechanic’s shop, worked on a construction crew in the Arctic Circle, fronted a punk band, and managed an independent children’s bookstore. He now spends part of his time designing book covers. He is the author of several collections of poetry, a story collection, and the novel Code for Failure. He lives in Oregon with his wife and two sons.
Elijah has been a professional actor for over 15 years, working and living in New York, where his productions included the Tony Award winning Broadway play, Metamorphoses.

Reviews
“Ryan W. Bradley’s stories grab you by the balls and don’t let go.”
“Just like the state of Alaska itself, in which they’re set, the stories in Ryan Bradley’s Nothing But the Dead and Dying are beautiful, dangerous, hardcore, and strong enough to break your ice-brittled bones. Here are the losers and the strivers, the broken and the just-fixed, the down-but-not-out and the ones crawling back for forgiveness on hands and knees. These are the people of Alaska, yes, but they are also all the citizens of the world. They are you and me in our best and worst hours. Ryan W. Bradley goes full throttle down an icy road with these stories. GodDAMN, can he ever drive a story!”
