PERIPHERAL VISIONS AND OTHER STORIES
What do you do when the hand that life deals you isn't the one you wanted?
In Peripheral Visions and Other Stories, the characters choose to play the best game they can with the cards they've received. For some, it's making the most of the circumstances in which they find themselves, even if it's not the life they planned. For others, it's following an unconventional path-not the easiest course or the one that others would take, but the one that's right for them. But they never lose hope that life will get better if they can just hold on.
Peripheral Visions and Other Stories was a finalist in the 2021 Eric Hoffer Book Awards, winner of the Bronze Award in the 2020 Foreword INDIES competition, a finalist in the 2020 N.N. Light Book Awards (short story), and won second place in the Florida Writers Association 2018 Royal Palm Literary Awards (RPLA) competition, with three of the stories having also earned contest placements.

About NANCY CHRISTIE
Nancy Christie’s love affair with writing began in her childhood. Books transported her to worlds she had never known, and once she discovered the power of writing, her imagination flourished. With pen and paper, she created vibrant characters and unique universes, all born from the magic of 26 letters.
Today, Christie continues to use writing as a way to connect with the world. She works as a freelance writer and has authored three non-fiction books: The Gifts of Change (Beyond Words Publishing/Atria), an inspirational guide, and two books for writers, Rut-Busting Book for Writers and Rut-Busting Book for Authors (both published by BookBaby). However, her deepest passion lies in fiction.
Christie is the author of two Midlife Moxie novels: the award-winning Reinventing Rita and its follow-up, Finding Fran (both through BookBaby). She has also penned three short story collections—Mistletoe Magic and Other Holiday Tales, Traveling Left of Center and Other Stories, and Peripheral Visions and Other Stories—all published by Unsolicited Press.
Her short stories have appeared in publications such as The Saturday Evening Post, Talking River, Bethlehem Writers Roundtable, St. Anthony Messenger, Wild Violet, EWR: Short Stories, Hypertext, Full of Crow, Fiction365, Red Fez, and The Chaffin Journal. Many of her works have earned accolades and contest placements.
