Short Story Collections Young Adult Friendly

Beneath Raven's Wing

  In Beneath Raven's Wing, mystery, magic, and miracles weave through 18 raven-filled stories. Whether set in Edgar Allan Poe's Baltimore, the forests of Scandinavia, a long ago battlefield, the mountains of Appalachia, or a suburban neighborhood, these tales take readers on a dark-winged journey. But be warned, more than an unkindness of ravens haunts these stories.

Owl Light

 eFestival of Words Short Story Collection 2018 Book Award Winner

 “In Owl Light, mystery and magic are close at hand. These stories and more dare the reader to step into Owl Light, where early stars flicker, owls wake from slumber, and shadows appear where shadows ought not be. But be warned, Owl Light dims to darkness, dreams change to nightmares, and dawn is more distant than you know.”

  “Highly recommended!” – David Lee Summers, author of Owl Dance and The Astronomer’s Crypt.
  “a rich tapestry of magic and ritual.” – Jonathan Shipley, author of stories published in Sword and Sorceress, After Death, Stories from the Near-Future, Tales of the Once and Future King, and other books.
  “intriguing... There is something to resonate with all readers within its pages.” –  Rie Sheridan Rose, author of The Conn-Mann Chronicles.
  “fantastical” – Anne E. Johnson, author of Things from Other Worlds and Exit Code.
  “spellbinding...great fantasy literature.” – Guardian Liberty Voice (Douglas Cobb, reviewer)
  “magical” – January Gray of January Gray Reviews.
