Stories for Short Attention Spans

By: Ann E. Loewen

I AM DEEPLY, REMORSELESSLY, UNSENTIMENTAL. Passionate, provocative, perceptive, warm, romantic (more likely Romantic), sensual, all these, but not a sentimental bone in my body. I'll take unhappy endings, misconstrued meanings, novels without punctuation or compromise over heart-warming any day. In this collection of seventeen short stories the reader is treated to a cross-section of humanity and its ongoing struggle to overcome loneliness and misunderstanding. Whether a grieving widower questioning his wife's last words, an art thief fleeing with her guilty haul, a family doctor doubting her clinical decisions or a horse pining for his herd, the characters seek connection in the midst of their isolation. Arranged in ascending order of length so as to entice the reader to lose themselves in the story, Stories for Short Attention Spans opens the window on the essence of hope.

Fast For My Feet

By: Ann E. Loewen

Lena’s nineteen-year-old brother Jordan has become someone else since he developed schizophrenia, and she’s not sure she likes him. And yet she hurts deeply when others don’t understand. Dealing with peers is hard enough, but adults can be even worse as they seek to blame and explain Jordan’s changes. Luckily there’s Andy, whose enthusiasm for life helps sort out some of the situations that keep arising. Then suddenly Andy isn’t the faithful friend she thought he was: he’s going to the grade 12 grad, but not with her. Running is Lena’s only escape. If only it wasn’t so hard to breathe. Finding wisdom, resilience and acceptance can be life-long quests, but Lena needs them right now. Pushed to her limits physically and emotionally, Lena learns how far, and how fast, she is willing to go for the brother she realizes she still loves.
