<DIV><DIV><b>Cameron&rsquo;s collection of witty and insightful stories reveals individuals seeking &#160;love, &#160;stability, and acceptance</b></div><BR><DIV>The characters in <i>Far-Flung</i>, Peter Cameron&rsquo;s second story collection, face a familiar dilemma: They aspire to happiness but are trapped in difficult lives not of their choosing. In &ldquo;Just Relax,&rdquo; a young woman jaded by attempts to travel (and save) the world returns home to become a Pilgrim reenactor in a theme park. In &ldquo;Not the Point,&rdquo; a mother tries to connect with her teenage son after his twin brother&rsquo;s suicide. And in &ldquo;The Secret Dog,&rdquo; a man stuck in a futile marriage dreams up a loyal, affectionate, and completely imaginary compensatory pet .</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Whether trapped in the flat, bleak fields of rural Indiana, in a lonely walk-up in New York City, or in their own heads, the characters of <i>Far-Flung</i> are all deftly handled with the compassion and humor that mark Cameron&rsquo;s best work.</div></div>
