These two volumes are making history.
The 2024 Louisiana Posse presents its first two-volume anthology of diverse short stories. The previous six years’ collections include Celebrating the Short Story, Over the Moon Travel Treasures, 2020 Vision, Coming of Age, Second Chances, and Our Abiding Heritage, which have contributed significantly to advancing the craft of Christian fiction writing. This year, fifteen authors collaborated to produce the outstanding collection of seventeen diverse short stories you’re now viewing, Time Passages. Volume I has eight stories you should also explore. This is Volume II, with nine stories from seven authors.
In Volume II, Bruce Hennigan’s A Death on Mount Driskill is a tension-filled adventure with Nick Saunders planning to end his life at the top of Louisiana’s highest mountain when some well-intentioned strangers intervene. Calvin Hubbard’s Pete’s Trek puts you in a moon rocket’s cockpit where Pete Gustavason struggles against a team of gremlins trying to ruin his mission. Eileen Keir Copeland’s The Dragon Speaker follows Emma’s adventure to discover her birthright, and her Time to Surrender retells a Biblical story through the eyes of Ladonal, who is struggling to survive in a harsh world. Tina Middleton’s It’s Time places you in Mary’s point of view as she releases her firstborn son to begin his mission. Tina’s second story, Spiritual Fight, follows Christi, struggling to help people who reject her help as she experiences a surreal event. Cindy Chandler Pye’s Time and Time Again is a time-traveling adventure where Caitlyn takes her husband, Reagan, on a fact-finding journey to connect with her past and unravel family mysteries. Carole Lehr Johnson’s The Light in the Mist follows Reid Graham’s life choices about a young woman he just met but is separated from and an assertive woman who demands his attention in his distant location. Finally, Marguerite Martin Gray’s Perhaps It’s Time recounts Raymond Wilson’s great challenge after many years of warring against tyranny. It’s all he’s known as an adult, but now he’s expected to return to a normal he’d never known.
When you return from these experiences and catch your breath, chances are some will have left you wanting more. If so, check out that story’s author page at the back of each volume. They might have something else you’ll like. We believe you’ll be glad you did.
