In the realm of imagination, characters live out a thousand different lifetimes in hundreds of worlds, offering an escape from the mundane.

This book contains a selection of twenty-seven chapter ones from my standalone novels and first-in-series books.

Spend a while with agent Kirsten Wren chasing ghosts across the cyberpunk future or Althea as she searches the Badlands for a place to belong. Follow Risa Black into the deepest tunnels of Mars, then go with Mia Gartner an unsuspecting happy owner of a new home who has yet to discover what awaits her inside. Watch little Kelly Donovan, a nine-year-old fan of superheroes, have an awful day at school unaware she'll soon be living her wildest dream.

These, and many other stories wait inside.
