Featured Work
The River Keeper and Other Tales
THIS COLLECTION OF SEVEN SHORT STORIES takes the reader to the Kingdom of Imlay, a world still filled with magic, mythical creatures great and small, some good and some bad. Characters young and old, face decisions that will affect those they hold dear. Imlay’s residents encounter universal themes: personal sacrifice for the greater good, the power of truth to break through hurtful intentions, the cost of using magic to help people, and the decisions we must make after leaving this life. Original and thought-provoking, these stories will stimulate the intellect and engage the imagination.
