Souvenirs from Another Life: Stories by Leah Browning
Quiet Ocean Studio & Press, February 2026

Souvenirs from Another Life, the first full-length collection of short fiction by Leah Browning, features an abundant selection of stories. By turns sharp and tender, these stories delve into the reality and surreality of love, companionship, and family.

In “Caught,” a man finds his Tinder date surrounded by vaguely threatening birds. Toward the beginning of “The Surrogate Wife,” a woman returns after a long journey to discover that her husband’s new housekeeper has taken over her home. And in “The Costume Wedding,” a doctor and her boyfriend travel to Albuquerque to attend a ceremony where they’ve been instructed to dress up.

The collection — which is available as a print paperback, e-book, and unabridged audiobook — includes full-length literary fiction, flash, and linked stories about the pleasures and absurdities of everyday life.

Fiction by Leah Browning has appeared in Four Way Review, Harpur Palate, Valparaiso Fiction Review, The Threepenny Review, Necessary Fiction, Contrary Magazine, and elsewhere. Her stories have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize anthology, Best of the Net, Best Microfiction, and the Wigleaf Top 50 Very Short Fictions.
