I wanted to review each story & they deserve it. They are often quirky, other times horrible &/or twisted, but all were very good. A lot of different genres were covered from Medieval fantasy to SF. I probably should have rated this as 4 stars, but it's free & very well written. That earns it an extra star & I'm not sure it doesn't deserve it anyway.
"Nanny" is about nanobots with a great ending.
"A Simple Trade" is a fantasy story. Excellent.
"Spirits of the 'Cane" - plain horror with an interesting cast.
"Edgar" A quirky game of magic. Very neat. (view spoiler)[I'll never look at cats the same way again. I could see them doing just this. (hide spoiler)]
"Galinda" Shades of Grendel with a Gardner twist.
"A Kingdom for the Taking" A Medieval conspiracy.
"A Darkness of Spirit" Magic, dragons, Medieval war, & spirit. Interesting on several levels. I'm still thinking about it, so it must be good.
"Verdara Lightstar" Space opera - fun!
"Science & the Greater Good" Wow! I thought I'd seen most SF twists on this theme. Didn't see this one coming, though.
"The Roots of Fate" Not bad, but not my favorite story in the collection. Still, it was interesting & worth reading.
"A Second Rising" Aliens have taken over our world (view spoiler)[ & turned us into ignorant livestock. (hide spoiler)]
I highly recommend getting this & watch out for more by this author. He's good!

Read information about the author

But of all the avocations in which he’s dabbled, Eric stands most in awe of one. Consider that most elusive of creations—the story. Ink on paper, black on white—a collection of simple syllables woven into a journey bounded only by the imagination.
After more than three decades in south Florida, Eric and lovely wife Susan moved to the Upstate region of South Carolina, where the nearby Appalachian mountains clamor for exploration. Motorcycling remains a life-long passion, and he forever persists in being confounded by the acoustic guitar.
