"A captivating and sometimes whimsical collection of short stories from a talented writer. I thoroughly enjoyed them!"
--Nalini Singh, New York Times Bestselling Author
This is a collection of eight short stories that can best be called suburban fantasy. They span the country from New York to San Francisco, but there's magic of one sort or another everywhere.
The stories in this collection are: Tell Me a Story; Golden Vanity; Connecticat (with Raul S. Reyes); Blood Calls to Blood; Ice Princess; Weather Witch; Things That Go Grump in the Night; and A Prince Among Frogs. The last three have overlapping characters and form sort of a casual mini-series.
These stories were originally published between 1983 and 1996 in various anthologies and magazines, edited by Marion Zimmer Bradley, Esther M. Friesner, Martin H. Greenberg, Andre Norton, and Jane Yolen.
