Cass blows glass for a living — but when she’s not cranking out tourist pieces to pay the bills, she creates unique glass art with the dream of winning a prestigious award that might just change her life.

But Cass has a problem.

The heat and intensity of the glassblowing hot shop have damaged her eyesight — and time is running out.

She only has one chance left to win and a rival artisan stands in her way, the trophies on his shelf testament to his enduring popularity.

When his son comes to work alongside Cass, she must make a choice that will change their lives.

A choice that will cost Blood, Sweat, and Flame.

"A story about a glass blower unlike any you have ever read. Only J.F. Penn could envision a tale so diabolical. This is a short story that will stay with you long after you read the final paragraph."

"I loved this story! From the first word I was drawn DEEPLY into the world of the main character. The heretofore unfamiliar world of glassblowing was illuminated at the same time I'm getting to know Cass, the main character. Wish I could describe more clearly how much I enjoyed it, but it's one of those stories you just have to experience. Well done, J.F."

"Enjoyed the atmosphere of the glass shop and hearing a bit about Cass’s work as a blower. Did not see the twist coming and wish there was more to the story to read! I do appreciate all the descriptions in JF Penn works, it is like you are there, and thankfully NOT!"

"Normally I am not a fan of short stories, but I am a huge fan of Penn’s. This in mind made me give it a read and I can only say that as always she delivers. The twist at the end was unexpected and delicious. Heartily recommended."

Dry good

I have just listened to this book, all the way through to an ending I didn’t see coming. What a very good short story. It’s very nice to put a voice to the pen, such a very good narrator as well. Highly recommended.
