Do you prefer your magic with one or two sugars? Or maybe with a nip of whisky? Days before their father's 70th Drunkening, brothers Artemis and Oleander Trevellian learn that the price of their usual gift -- two barrels of magic -- has skyrocketed, putting it well beyond their meager budget. Rather than find another present (what else do you get the pirate who has everything?), the two set off on a rollicking adventure across the whole of the Grunnic Isles to discover what's caused the shortage. Without their Da knowing about it, of course. From Sei'ne Heasley and 2017 Watty Award winner Leigh Heasley.

Award-winning author James Douglas Wallace brings together ten sci-fi short stories (flash fiction) in a single volume, each an opportunity to escape into a new reality. While the cover may not scream hard sci-fi with spaceships and lasers, it hints at something different, an almost indescribable existential melancholy shared by all of us. Are we alone in the universe? What's out there? Are we ready for it? Worthy of it? These are the questions explored in this volume. You'll find parallel universes, time travel, quantum entanglement, post-apocalyptic desolation, cloning, benevolent aliens, and alien invasions. And hopefully, they will bring a smile to your face as they have for so many other readers.
