In this book I have put together a collection of stories where hope shines, love wins, and magic happens. There is no set genre; Guinevere Unfrozen is a Sci-Fi novella, while Ground Zero wanders a little further into Fantasy with the goddess Rainbow seeking out justice. There is a little taste of the supernatural in Dancing Rain in Moonlight. Science, fantasy and identity all clash against each other in The Full Reveal of Shrodinger’s Cat.
On the other side of the spectrum, Family Wars, Crawl and Two Tales from Tandy’s are forged with a more gritty realism.
Of course, there is always a bit of magic in my stories, because life itself is magical.
My characters inhabit the LGBT realm, but I do believe the stories are univesal and enjoyable by all, whatever your sexuality or how you identify yourself. Please have a read though the story teasers below.
