Demon Sun
He called it Demon Sun as a kid, a play on his mother's words when he tried to describe the magical land of music he'd discovered: Sounds like you've discovered a magic new dimension. Little did he know he'd find himself back there as an adult...

Death Park
Science fiction combines with horror in this short story set in the distant future, where everybody knows to avoid Death Park at all costs, but no one remembers why.
Apprentice
All her short life, Lydia dreamed of being a baker. As an apprentice she greeted each day with joy and wonder. Until the day a magical little beast entered her predictable world, and turned everything upside down...
In Service of the Light
Lydia, now known as Aurora, rides the lands at the whim of the Circle, a proud servant of the Light. In the course of her duties, she rescues a wandering mage-historian whose beliefs challenge her own and shatter her view of herself, her training, and even her service to the Light itself.
Burn
Sometimes magical talent springs up fully formed and dangerous. And sometimes, the person with the talent has no idea what to do next...
There's A Demon In My Sock

Rescue
A distant sound heard by a horse leads to the rescue of a lovely young lady, fleeing danger directly into the path of the Ranger Kell Ardantin.
Freak
After the Great War, humans have become the dominant species on Anarill. Friction between the humans and the non-humans is inevitable. And sometimes, it just all goes wrong...
Revenant
This is a creepy science fiction tale. It involves a bit of romance, a bit of horror, and a whole lot of revenge. And if you've ever heard the song "For All Eternity" by a group called Fight, that's what (loosely) inspired this story.
Red Racer
Sometime in the not-so-distant future, the Order has taken over a country once known as America. Everyone is guaranteed a home, food, employment... but not everyone is happy with the restrictive new society.

Lilly's Tale
In the twilight of the Elder Days, a story was told which was so improbable as to be disbelieved even by its witnesses. For though it is said that love knows no boundaries, still it is frowned upon when one loves outside one's own species. Here, then, is the tale of one such occurance...

The Visitor
A very odd short story. What if mankind was created as an experiment, and the one performing the experiment returned to check its progress?
