Short Stories & Anthologies
Feel good about yourself while reading these collections of fantasy stories that all support charitable causes.
My anthology stories are all part of THE CURSED GLOBE series universe, but they each stand alone (although you’ll see recurring characters).
Strange and unusual tales, mixups and mistaken identities, trios and triple threats — join us to learn … What’s in a name?
The WHAT’S IN A NAME? Anthologies began with a fun challenge between authors to take a hilarious name from a Fairytale name generator and turn it into a story. Now multiple collections of these quirky stories await!
