Ever since a magical encounter in ancient India, the name “Amina Patel” is passed down in the same family through the generations. Two of these stories take place in nineteenth century Brazil; the third, in the twenty-first century United States. Encounter ghosts, cursed talismans, and an international criminal organization of evil.
Brilliance runs in the Trung family. Among the preeminent scientists of the last two hundred years, their breakthroughs in quantum physics and engineering enabled humans to travel throughout the solar system without any medical ill effects, and to shorten trip lengths from decades or centuries to days or weeks instead.
Featured in two short stories, teenaged Kasey Trung defends her home (a tiny outpost orbiting the gargantuan planet) against murderous raiders, then fights to save the main colony and its millions of inhabitants from a cyberattack on the central computer.
Leah Trung, Kasey’s grandmother, takes the lead in another short story and fights to prevent an interplanetary war and an outbreak of a lethal system-wide pandemic.

A series of posts–on series!
Starting in July, each post will feature a write-up on one of the plethora of super series available. Some established, others nascent, they include science fiction, fantasy, action, and suspense.

Dragons! Fae!
Two new stories of fantastical fiascos will debut soon.
In “Rainbow of Ruin” the Clansmembers normally respect the solitude of those who prefer to live apart. That changes when they abandon their isolation and inexplicably begin to attack the Clans’ nurseries. With eggs and hatchlings at risk, Sierra must discover what caused the sudden hostility and how to stop it.
The result is “Ill Met by Moonlight” when a human runs afoul of the fae. Despite all their magical power, the fae realize that mundane humans far outnumber them—and therefore pose a threat. The fae remain out of sight, preferring to operate in the shadows and move often. Sometimes, though, they skate perilously close to revealing themselves. In such cases, Elora and Maeve often find themselves forced to work together.
Peruse all the lovely pictures!
