It’s Dream Time again! Colleen Drippé weaves her magic with ten more tales of science fiction, fantasy, and something in that wispy in-between, but with the spark of truth that reaches into the waking world. Island Carnival: What’s so special about magic if everyone can do it? Well, there’s magic and there’s magic. And some of it is dangerous. - Moss Covered Stones: They came from the stars and all they wanted was to live. But that’s not as easy as it sounds. - Heritage: A young girl with a crippling disease and an elderly relative dying of a fatal disease who wants to take her body. Who wins? - Stars by Day: A woman goes back to the world of her childhood and learns that nothing really changes very much. - Little People: Two adventurers are captured by a wizard and thrown into a world of giants. And when someone demands that they grant wishes—what can they do? - Faces of Empire: The old empire is long gone, but things never change. Lost spacemen, pushed ahead in time, wake to a new world—and determine not to let the past repeat itself. - The Exile of Joseph Reed: What worse punishment than to be sent out among the stars in an experimental craft with only death to look forward to? But things are not quite what they seem. - Witness in the Fog: A fun story of a 1920’s flapper who meets some very strange people indeed. - The Children of Sunshine Lane: In a nearly childness world, a girl is almost born. But then her parents change their minds. - Mistress Hayley: Of course she knows better than her superiors and of course she is going to save the world. And of course things don’t turn out the way she expected them to. Sigh. "Expertly crafted, invariably imaginative, always compelling... I look forward eagerly to each new volume and cannot think of another contemporary short story writer I enjoy more." Andrew M. Seddon, author of Wolf Wanderings, The DeathCats of Asa'ican and Other Tales of a Space-Vet , and Wreaths of Empire .
