  How do you mark a quarter century? While parties are great—and we'll have those—I wanted to distill the time in a tangible way. To hold it in my hands, and share with you, dear listeners, in celebration and appreciation.But how?A collection! I dove into my published short fiction. Some I included because they were challenging to write. Several show my growth as a writer. I love them all. There's science fiction, fantasy, and, yes, horror. Plus an all-new story from Night's Edge.If you know me only from my novels, welcome to the darker, deeper corners of my imagination.

  When Ornax Milwok decided he wanted an adventure, he set his sights on the most unlikely place to have it in. Earth! Not only does Earth lie clear across the galaxy, the whole planet has been strictly off limits for at least the last two hundred years!

Alas, the friendly captain of the space schooner, Forbidden Weighs, is not all that he seems to be. Unknown to Ornax, Goldtooth turns out to be a notorious space pirate, and a man with secret reasons of his own for running the Earth Quarantine Patrol’s blockade.  He has an important rendezvous to make in a jungle kingdom called the Rat’s Realm.  It’s a life or death rendezvous that involves witches, magic, demons, and now … Ornax!
