Zombies and werewolves and witches, oh my! Dorothy is a normal teenage girl. She goes to school, hangs out and resists the advances of the boys in her year. And she lives with her aunt after the death of her parents. A trip to a mall is brought to an abrupt halt when a freak storm hits. Dorothy is transported to another land, one where zombies hunt, a serial killer is rebuilding his metal body from the parts of his victims and a witch is trying to prevent a self proclaimed wizard from destroying their world! With a werewolf mourning its murdered beloved and a group of orphans ready to carry out a human sacrifice, Dorothy is sure she's not in Kansas anymore!

In the near future, humankind has mastered the arts of peace, tolerance, and acceptance. At least, that's what we claim. But then they arrive. Aliens--the last of a dead race. Suffering culture shock of the worst kind, they must take refuge on a world they cannot understand; one which cannot comprehend the scope of their loss. Taciturn Gwen Pierson and super-geek Basil Grey are Specialists for the Institute--an organization set up to help alien integration into our societies. They take in Kalp, a widower who escaped his dying world with nothing but his own life and the unfinished toy he was making for a child that will never be born. But on the aliens' world, family units come in threes, and when Kalp turns to them for comfort, they unintentionally, but happily, find themselves Kalp's lovers. And then aliens--and the Specialists who have been most accepting of them--start dying, picked off by assassins. The people of Earth, it seems, are not quite as tolerant as they proclaim.

Forsyth Turn has finally become a hero-however reluctantly. But now that Lucy Piper has married him and they've started a family in her world, his adventuring days are behind him. Yet not all is as it should be. Beloved novels are disappearing at an alarming rate, not just from the minds of readers like Pip, but from bookshelves as well. Almost as if they had never been. Almost like magic. Forsyth fears that it is his fault-that Pip's childhood tales are vanishing because he, a book character, has escaped his pages. But when he and Pip are sucked back into The Tales of Kintyre Turn against their will, they realize that something much more deadly and dire is happening. The stories are vanishing from Forsyth's world too. So Forsyth sets out on a desperate journey across Hain to discover how, and why, the stories are disappearing... before their own world vanishes forever. In this clever follow-up to The Untold Tale, The Forgotten Tale questions what it means to create a legacy, and what we owe to those who come after us. * This excerpt is part of The Accidental Turn Series: http://jmfrey.net/the-accidental-turn-series/
