In The Encounter Stories, I assembled four literary shorts written for the young adult audience of the magazine “Encounter.” Three of these stories were published in past years, one I wrote specifically for this collection ::
Lance has turned a physically abusive relationship between two little hispanic sisters into a moment of grace, fight-turned-tears. In That Director, he explores the humanity of the celebrity artists we both idolize and demonize and in Enough is Enough, the heart behind a minister’s petty rules is exposed through a house fire.
To the stories previously published in Encounter magazine, Lance has added an original story named Into Your Own Orbit, which – through the eyes of a seven-year-old Indian girl – deals with the ways we flail in trying to find ourselves. And the kind life we discover the moment we stop hoarding our control.
I sell new stories to encounter every quarter to Encounter for the following year (selling for 2016 at the moment) and decided to finally assemble some of them so that you could get a copy. It’s less than a buck for all four, so grab you one:
