Craig Lancaster se narodil a vyrůstal v Texasu, ale jeho srdce vždy patřilo rozlehlým a drsným krajinám Montany, kam se později přestěhoval, aby uskutečnil svůj celoživotní sen. Jeho romány, zrozené z vášnivé touhy po psaní, se ponořují hluboko do lidské psychiky. Lancaster se nezaměřuje na povrchní pozlátko, ale zkoumá skryté touhy a pohnutky, které formují naše životy. Jeho přístup, který sám označuje za zkoumání pravdy skrze fikci, zve čtenáře k vlastnímu emocionálnímu prožitku a interpretaci jeho děl.
Max Wendt grapples with the disintegration of his family as he confronts his role in its decline. His frequent absences have created a rift between him, his wife, and his daughter, leading to a painful disconnect. As he navigates the gap between cherished memories and the current reality, Max must face the consequences of his actions and seek a way to reconnect with his loved ones.
It's been a year of upheaval for Edward Stanton, a forty-two-year-old with Asperger's syndrome. He's lost his job. His trusted therapist has retired. His best friends have moved away. And even his nightly ritual of watching Dragnet reruns has been disrupted. All of this change has left Edward, who lives his life on a rigid schedule, completely flummoxed. But when his friend Donna calls with news that her son Kyle is in trouble, Edward leaves his comfort zone in Billings, Montana, and drives to visit them in Boise, where he discovers Kyle has morphed from a sweet kid into a sullen adolescent. Inspired by dreams of the past, Edward goes against his routine and decides to drive to a small town in Colorado where he once spent a summer with his father--bringing Kyle along as his road trip companion. The two argue about football and music along the way, and amid their misadventures, they meet an eccentric motel owner who just might be the love of Edward's sheltered life--if only he can let her. Endearing and laugh-out-loud funny, Edward Adrift is author Craig Lancaster's sequel to 600 Hours of Edward.
Edward Stanton is a man hurtling headlong toward middle age. His mental illness has led him to be sequestered in his small house in a small city, where he keeps his distance from the outside world and the parents from whom he is largely estranged. For the most part, Edward sticks to things he can count on ... and things he can count. But over the course of 25 days (or 600 hours, as Edward prefers to look at it) several events puncture the walls Edward has built around himself. In the end, he faces a choice: Open his life to experience and deal with the joys and heartaches that come with it, or remain behind his closed door, a solitary soul.
