Winston's got rhythm, just not one that anyone else dances to. If he can't get his own off-beat magic sorted out, he'll have a rough time taking over his deceased mother's beloved dance school. A trip to the Ship of Wonders, the one sailing ship in the world where true magic can flourish, could reveal the catalyst he needs to find his footing. If only the magical cacophony on deck didn't affect his stomach even worse than the pitch of the sea!

The Nightly Dance Aboard the Ship of Wonders - Uncollected Anthology

What makes a monster? Is it teeth and claws, unnatural power or malicious intent? Does the mere ability to destroy and harm mark one as monstrous?These three tales explore the classification of "monster" in three fantastical settings. Frostburnt Arctin is more than ready to complete his coming-of-age ceremony and bond with an ice elemental as his people have done for generations. But what comes to join with him is a creature of fire. After the ensuing fiery destruction of his hometown, Arctin embarks on a quest to drive the unwanted fire elemental from him, no matter what it takes. No matter whose help he has to ask. Killing Spree Bar owner Spriegan isn't looking for trouble. She isn't looking to unleash the anger she's kept tamped down inside since settling in this tiny outpost town with her partner, Zilly. She's done pretty good, even after Zilly died and left her to hold down the anger alone. But now, an upstart sheriff is going around town, demanding protection money. Now, the townsfolk are riling themselves up into a frenzy of revolution. Now, the band of berserkers Spriegan used to run with is headed this way. And the anger inside is like to boil over. The Protectors of Gold Rush Amusement Park When you've sworn to guard the seals on an entity of evil, death does not release you from your duty. Strong-dragon Tarpha, though now all dead and spirity, must still find the strength to contain the malicious spirit of the gold mine she and her mage-partner Maya contained centuries ago. But the humans who live at the base of the mountain have built up strange amusements over the ensuing years, and Tarpha isn't sure she can do her duty alone.

Three Tales of Monsters

The price of love is dire, more so when fey and mortal dare to try their luck together. Having broken her vow to remain in the Faerie Realm for a whole year, Chelsea Hewitt's only goal is to make it through this miserable winter in the mortal world. That, and forget about the Winter Queen who almost stole her heart. Alcohol helps. The continued freeloading presence of her ex-fiancée does not. But the Winter Court-and the whole Faerie Realm-still needs Chelsea. And with her heart still tangled with the magic of the Winter Court, Chelsea herself could fall.
