The Blue Lamp
A thrilling short story of those two adventurers, poet swordsman Dareon Vin, and his companion, the Indari warrior known as Blue. When Blue goes missing in the city of Merth for two days (a difficult feat, when you’re six-and-a-half feet tall and covered in blue tattoos), Dareon’s search for his friend leads him to Ravel’s Exquisite Emporium, where he becomes prey to an unusual predatory salesman. Meanwhile, Blue fights for his life and perhaps his very soul, with the aid of Malika, a dancer from Khulan, against an otherworldly foe that is no less than omnipotent.

Tomorrow Girl
Everything in Stella's life was going perfectly. Except for the strange dreams, the weird accidents, the premonitions and the voices in her head. Plus she was single and couldn't seem to meet a decent man in all of Los Angeles. You would think a rising Hollywood starlet in 1962 wouldn't have such trouble! When two opposing Hollywood agents appear out of nowhere, aggressively seeking her as their client, her troubles multiply...as do the latent psychic powers within her.
