Karen Garloch is the author of Stray Voltage, winner of the 2024 Petrichor Prize for Finely Crafted Fiction. The novel is coming in Fall 2026 from Regal House Publishing.
Stray Voltage is the story of Midwestern dairy farmers struggling to understand what is killing their cows, threatening their livelihood and reputation. Farm wife Hillie yearns to break free from constraints on women in a patriarchal religious community, reminiscent of Dellarobia in Barbara Kingsolver’s Flight Behavior.
