Fiction River: Chances

Edited by Denise Little & Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Lovers take chances. History and literature both bubble over with stories of chances and mischances, of love lost as often as love won, and even of wars launched in retaliation for stolen chances and illicit rendezvous.

The stories in this volume tug at the heartstrings and tease the brain. In each of them, two fascinating people throw themselves against the whims of fate in order to find a way to live happily ever after.

Baked with Love by Annie Reed

Politicians, Lost Causers, and Abigail Lockwood

Kristine Kathryn Rusch

1912—In a world where President Andrew Johnson’s impeachment trial conviction guaranteed that Reconstruction not only had teeth but also continued into the 20th century, South Carolina stands out as a leader in change, a pioneer of laws that change the balance of power. This new United States, this new South, sees blacks and women rise to their rightful places of power alongside whites.

But that doesn’t stop Lost Causers from trying to return the country to its old ways.

So, when someone tries to stop presidential hopeful Kate Wells from speaking at an event organized by the influential Abigail Lockwood, Abigail knows the Lost Causers want to send her a message.

But her response might prove one they never expected.

“Rusch’s short fiction is golden.”
