Edward Unspooled by Craig Lancaster
Change keeps stalking Edward Stanton. He and his new wife, Sheila, have retreated to his small house in Montana after an unsuccessful attempt at operating a motel in Colorado. That failure has left wounds, especially for Sheila, and now they face a bigger challenge: pregnancy and impending parenthood. Edward begins penning notes to the child (ever precise, he refers to the gestating being as Cellular Stanton) as he navigates married life with Sheila, who is unhappy and unfulfilled in Montana; a work partnership with his friend Scott Shamwell, whose own life is teetering; and the emergence of a long-buried family secret and the effect of this revelation on his relationship with his overbearing mother. Even as Edward's world expands, he must confront questions about who to let in, how much to give, the very definition of family, the fragility of hope, and the expanses of love. The latest from bestselling author Craig Lancaster (600 Hours of Edward, Edward Adrift, The Summer Son) revisits a beloved character. Whether this is your introduction to Edward Stanton or you've been following him right along, you're sure to fall in love with this extraordinarily ordinary man and his family and friends.Craig Lancaster is the author of novels such as 600 Hours of Edward and Edward Adrift, as well as a frequent writer and editor for journals and newspapers. His first, 600 Hours of Edward, was a Montana Honor Novel and the winner of the 2010 High Plains Book Award for Best First Book. His writing has also received accolades from the Utah Book Awards (for the novel The Summer Son) and an Independent Publisher Book Awards gold medal (for the short-story collection The Art of Departure). He worked at newspapers in Texas, Alaska, Ohio, California, Washington, Montana, and, yes, Kentucky before turning to fiction. He's never crossed the mythical Maxine Brockbirch Bridge, but he's familiar with that part of the Ohio River from another time and place.
Long may it continue. Lancaster and his wife, bestselling author Elisa Lorello (Faking It, Pasta Wars, The Second First Time), live in Billings, Montana.
