Midland City's resident superhero Quickness can fight off his nemesis Doctor Oto all day and night... but his ultimate vulnerability might finally prove to be his all too human human heart.

Seg returns from the Manor of Storms with a heavy burden of responsibility — a desert town to rebuild and a child to care for. Just as she sets to work, the Dry Princess arrives with death, sand, and a face from Seg’s past — Plumbess Sol, now going by the name Irrigator Solara.

Here's an otherworldly science-fiction adventure from Transdimensional Media. Combining the humor and imagination of Ruby, with the pacing of Firesign Theatre, and an imagined world all its own, Dry Smoke and Whispers is a techno-noir drama with a sense of humor, and a memorable cast of characters. Emile Song, an eccentric, intelligent, and telepathic detective is given the task of catching the East End Reaper, a techno-fiend terrorizing the people of Quaymet.

It's small and jewel-blue, with wings and a maniacal laugh. Brought back to life from the Ancient Days of the Empire, a gem-stone filching homunculus is loose in the capital. It's evil, obviously, and must be destroyed. It takes a street-wise orphan of the Neon Bowery to set the capital, and even Song, aright.

All is not well in the subterranean realm of The East End Reaper. The black markets of the capital are his: objective achieved. And so, he's off to the ends of the galaxy to deal with past demons - leaving a trail of mayhem which leads Song and Henchard, and the Reaper himself, to a most unexpected conclusion.

A tiny Victorian-machinery butterfly. A diabolical hit man. And lethal case-loads of the darkest narcotic in the galaxy: Black Asylum. The fuse is lit - where will the bomb go off? Even Song is running three steps behind in a redemptive story that's a guesser to the very end.

A mysterious extraterrestrial can take out a city block by taking off the dive-bell helmet of his environmental suit. Song and Henchard investigate with a subterranean team of Neon Bowery allies - and discover the infamous East End Reaper is back, in aces and bent on revenge.

Some of the pieces have fallen into place: a galactic chess board is set, and the inner guards of royalty are in play. On board a galactic tourist cruiser, filled with innocents with very bad timing, three major powers of the galaxy play for ultimate stakes. Song is pushed to the limits of his abilities, almost loses his most trusted friend, and old enemies become allies, as he fights a losing battle against his most Machiavellian foe.

This is the introduction to the galaxy of Quaymet. Emile Song meets his most deadly foe. Who is he? Where did he come from? No one knows, but he's cutting a swath across the capital, taking out every crime syndicate in his way with deadly and hilarious Hi-Tech. He's dubbed himself "The East-End Reaper". Song takes up the challenge to uncover and stop this self-styled latter-day Napoleon.

Told by four women whose stories nest together, She Never Told Me About the Ocean is an epic about a rite of passage that all humans undergo and none remember: birth.

Come away with us now to the far-off, future days of A.D. 1985, when men have landed on the moon! Where Space Marshal, Rory Rammer, and his sidekick, "Skip" Sagan, guard the rule of law and the rights of the innocent! From the skies of Earth to the orbit of the Moon!

To Charles Fort, with Love is award-winning fantasist Caitlín R.
