This collection of seven speculative fiction stories explores the rhythms of life both external and internal on our planet and in other places in the universe. From identifying a single individual’s challenges with identity to that of a supernatural being whose sole purpose is to embed its soul into the experiences of all people, each story asks you to question what you see, who you are, and how to think outside of your personal experience.
If you are able to adapt to a new rhythm, you will be given a chance to do more than survive. You will find a way to thrive.
Included titles:
“Alienation”
“Identity Crisis”
“The Conscript”
“Pop!”
“The Payment”
“The Vow”
“The Beckoning”
RHYTHMS

For every woman who found passion but not love…how did you find your way back to yourself? To life?
Sometimes a man walks into your life and, with a single look or the touch of his hand, you are towed out to sea. In this story, Sheila meets such a man–a man with the ability to engage every fantasy and passion, a man who moves so fast and so powerfully that the whitewater journey challenges her at every turn. Will she spin forever in his whirlpool desert or will she choose a different river that sustains life?
SHIFTING WATERS
|
When one suffers violence, torment, or other degrading treatment because of gender what should the response be? Vengeance? Death? Forgiveness? In this society where magic is a spiritual practice, the Sisters of Haven have devised their own solutions. Each sister chooses for herself.
(Also includes a Sneak Peek at ETERNITY)
THE VOW
|
Carrie James never fit in on Earth. After killing her abusive husband, she is sentenced to spend the rest of her life in the research of the Plutonian moon, Charon.
Isolation is always challenging, but 3 billion miles from Earth is more than a life sentence–it’s death to everything she knows. But the payment must be made, not only by Carrie but also by Earth.
