Wagers of the Coven
This collection promises a series of short stories about a coven rivalry that hinges on the collection of unwary beings whose alignment with spirit animals is not hidden from the witches.
The first story in the collection, “Dabbling in the Arts,” sets up the wager—where it may be surmised that a particular spirit animal’s nosiness and readiness are not altogether celebratory personality traits.
The Bird and the Web
A satire on higher education, this fairy tale weaves together a story about a poor widow and her daughter—who are granted surprising opportunities to unveil a kingdom’s
blindness—with a bit of romance and some hints about the high metabolic rate of hope.
