This collection includes both previously-published and all-new stories.

A heartwarming coastal novella about connection, belonging, and the unseen threads that tie generations together. Jovi arrives at the beach hoping for a simple escape, but nothing about this summer turns out as expected. With two young kids in tow and a heart weighed down by guilt, questions, and the ache of imperfection, she finds herself drawn into unexpected friendships and unspoken stories. As the days unfold, Jovi discovers that sometimes the people who leave the biggest mark are the ones who arrive quietly, and the ones who feel like outsiders may be the ones most meant to be there.

Dead End Lovers is a Bonnie and Clyde short story. Claudio meets Bonita in Manhattan. After he discovers a bag of money in a Lyft, he gets the courage to date Bonita. The bag of money belongs to the mob, and the crime boss kidnaps Bonita's sister. Bonita and Claudio rob banks for ransom money, but will they stop when they get enough money?

With loss, there is healing. With love comes light. With connection, there is purpose, and with curiosity, the mystery is solved. These are the tenets of the four short stories in The Heart-Shaped Stone. They represent ordinary people with extraordinary abilities.

Campfire Stories to Tell in the Dark is a whispered invitation to step into the cracks, where appearances crumble, and normality quietly breaks, making room for the unexpected. It’s a slow, silent descent into the shadowy corners of psychological horror, where fear doesn’t scream, but slips in. Where every story starts with something familiar… then twists, silently shedding its skin before your eyes.

These heartwarming short stories were written by Barbara Nelson Blinn during her late high school years in the 1950s. They tell of a period of time that has been forgotten by many, yet fun to remember and learn about. Through a series of short stories, the author explores meaningful themes like human nature, morality, sacrifice, religion, justice, and parental love. Most of the stories focus on a central figure who must overcome an obstacle to find a better life for themselves or their loved ones.

Retired police chief Dunstan George is on the island of San Martino, following his adventures in Tales of St. Marts. He is asked to help solve the murder of a tourist at a famous site, the Ladder of the gods, but soon discovers there is a much darker conspiracy at work.

This is a place for flowers and light, bud and bloom. Just beware of what’s beneath the dirt, or scurrying in the dark. Here, 15 writers unpick the tapestry of life, death and regrowth in fantastical tales. This is a place where fruit may carry the rot of broken bonds, where flowers carry the burden of life and loss, hands reach out from the roots and teeth gnash their own way out…and ancient visitors might borrow the familiar shape of wolf & rabbit, fox, and crow.

Immanuel and Tara Willis are not your typical criminals. Once, they were just a struggling married couple—Immanuel, a postal worker drowning in gambling debt, and Tara, a bank teller trapped in a cycle of bad financial decisions. But when desperation meets opportunity, the line between right and wrong blurs. What starts as one small heist quickly turns into a spree, stretching across Florida and Alabama. With Immanuel disguised behind wigs and sunglasses, passing silent robbery notes, and Tara waiting in the getaway car, the couple perfects their system. No guns. No violence.

Mrs Dalloway said she would buy the gloves herself. Big Ben was striking as she stepped out into the street. It was eleven o'clock and the unused hour was fresh as if issued to children on a beach. But there was something solemn in the deliberate swing of the repeated strokes; something stirring in the murmur of wheels and the shuffle of footsteps. No doubt they were not all bound on errands of happiness. There is much more to be said about us than that we walk the streets of Westminster. Big Ben too is nothing but steel rods consumed by rust were it not for the care of H.M.'s Office of Works.
