Glimpse into the future with the tales of tomorrow. A collection of science fiction short stories.

Many words can describe the mighty General, Graeme Blackwoode. Handsome, intimidating, and stoic. Lovestruck wouldn't be one. Yet, the warrior crumbled to one of life's most delicate emotions. Love. Love in one of the most inconvenient of times. Love with a special woman, a fighter like him. Threats from the neighboring country of Ravennisse, a kingdom built on land and power seek to conquer Oriad's land, in the tragedy known as war. Graeme seeks to act as a general, hoping to keep his kingdom out of war. Yet, he is balancing his romance, for not everyone would approve of what he's become. *** Disclaimer: This is the prequel to Lantana but you do not need to read that book and this can be enjoyed on its own!

Forced to enlist as a guardian, a pacifist finds hope within a passionate singer. --- (A Triple Point story.) Mackenzie Olomana enjoys chatting up strangers, giving great hugs, and crying for happy endings; he absolutely does not like violence, horror movies, and when people are in pain. So being forced to enlist as a guardian, where he's surrounded by everything he dislikes on a daily basis, probably wasn't the best career path for him. Unfortunately, his healing meta-abilities didn't give him much of a choice, but he's willing to accept that (sort of) and just take life one day at a time. Patience finally pays off when he meets Jordan Minseok Song. To most, Jordan is a successful pop star known for his silky voice and incredibly polite personality. But there's a goofy and charming persona hiding behind Jordan's public exterior, and finding it leaves Mack with a warmth he never expected. Except something is holding Jordan back, and Mack can see it's hurting him in ways that others might not notice. Fortunately, Mack knows a thing or two about healing, even when it involves pains of the past. With his help, maybe then Jordan can feel his warmth for himself. And maybe then they can both find happiness, together. --- Word Count: +45k Genres: Romance, Science Fiction

In the heart of downtown Toronto, as winter sets in, a high-powered vice president reflects on the pressures of his demanding corporate job. After yet another late night at work, he realizes he has forgotten an important file at the office.
