“An entertaining, fun read. …I liked the fact that all stories share a hopeful ending – something that I found to be uplifting and enjoyable. ”

–Jane Desimone

Here’s the set-up:

This collection of twelve stories will keep you turning the pages as you follow a diverse cast of characters struggling with love, loss, jealousy, anger, but ultimately triumphing over adversity and finding hope in the process. Two former lovers make peace with long forgotten versions of their younger selves, an unemployed producer finds her life turning for the better after an encounter with an enigmatic old lady, an overworked employee gets even with his manipulative boss, a Las Vegas cabbie tells a story of a mysterious woman who changed his luck forever, a lonely secretary confronts her controlling mother and finds unexpected romance at a bus stop, a wannabe trader returns to his hometown and learns that success has many definitions, a divorced mother finds love with the help of an optimistic babysitter, a former homecoming queen confronts her cheating husband, and the list goes on.

One Reviewer Notes:

“The book has twelve stories ranging from relationships to corporate satire to the supernatural. I particularly enjoyed “Corporate Retreat” and the “The Secret of Success,” which poked fun at the corporate world – as an employee of a large company, I found myself laughing like crazy at all the nonsense that the author made fun of. When I was finished with the book, my wife took over from me and she loved “Bus Stop Romance” and “A Dress in a Window.” I don’t know about you, but I am tired of stories without any plot or direction, which seem to make up the majority of today’s short stories, so A Chance Encounter and Other Stories was a welcome change – real stories with plot and substance that will make you laugh and cry.“

–Oleg Salticov
