While driving down an East Texas country road I spotted this scene. The autumn trees and the late afternoon sun made these golden bales of hay shine just a little bit more. Fortunately I had my camera with me. (c) James Q. Eddy Jr.

In 2021, Trent Dalton sat down with a typewriter on a busy corner in Brisbane, Australia, and asked people to tell him their love stories. 

Those tales are now rolled up into his first book, “Love Stories.” It’s over 300 pages and talks about the meaning of love, from strangers and Dalton alike.

“Love Stories” releases in the U.S. on March 28. We talk to Dalton about what it means to know love and talk about it with strangers.
