Golden carp, braceleted bones.

This remarkable collection of fantasy scifi stories begins with—

A secret trek into the ancient capital of an enslaved nation...

A hermaphroditic visitor from another planet, forced to choose...

An artist who doesn't cure people...

Two half-crazy inmates who are just looking for a good time and have never set out to change the face of anything...

It continues with—

A planet where slavery thrives, met by a freedom-loving researcher...

An Egyptian noblewoman and a revolution...

A shipwrecked herbalist who finds her own cure...

A mesmerizing voice, and a batch of genius crepes...

An improbable search for an ancient Martian artifact...

...And the ending? These are tales to savor. Warning:
You may hate to see them end.

A collection of fantasy scifi stories set in many times and locations, on Earth and in other places — past, present and future — with a common denominator: magic and the paranormal, and the characters who experience them.
