Edited by Daniel Scott White. Contents: Vacation by Daniel Wallace, The Part Beneath by Christine Rice, The Transcendent Cavewoman by Joe Taylor, Pain Relief by Jessica Bakkers, A Barn, a Horse, a Star by Cathy Kodra, Storytellers by David R. Grigg.What do we mean by small choices? Is it an old man trying not to show his appreciation for a woman he's crazy about? Is it the people we bump into each day, but still we don't talk to them? Is it a mother raising a child in incremental ways, a child who later goes on to become someone she never expected? These small choices define us more than we sometimes realize.In this issue, we are dedicated to bringing you new authors as well as masters of literary fiction. We've got a story by Daniel Wallace, well known for his novel Big Fish. His newest novel is called Extraordinary Adventures and I recommend picking up a copy. We have a chapter from the new novel Christine Rice is working on. Her previous novel Swarm Theory ate up the awards last year. We've also featured an artist and a dance company this time. I hope you enjoy reading about them.Welcome to Small Choices, the literary fiction issue.
