LUCKY RIDE by Terry Tierney

PARDON ME FOR MOONWALKING by Patricia Q. Bidar

A short story collection that illuminates the odd, tender, bittersweet corners of ordinary lives. These stories are peculiar in the best way, offering small moments of estrangement, longing, and unexpected grace.

CLEAH’S BEQUEST by Mari Matthias
