Nora's Wish
Ben Jameson is a bitter retiree residing at Willow Manor, a home for the aged or those in need of care, and has nothing more to do than await the inevitable conclusion of a life wasted. Forgotten by his family, his days are marked by the solitary existence of books, loneliness, and regret. A chance meeting with a terminally ill resident named Nora, and her unshakeable optimism in the face of her eventual demise, rekindles emotions he was certain were gone forever. Nora reawakens his ability to love, and with her compassion and her companionship, he comes to realize that even a life as wasted as his own can be salvaged and, given the right incentive, is still worth living. As Nora's health declines, they both dare to hope that the magic of a strange pendant Ben purchased from an antique shop as a gift for Nora will overcome the odds, offering them more time with one another.
Now I Lay Me Down to Reap
The eighth commandment; thou shalt not steal. But everyone covets something that isn't theirs... Wander down the darker paths of the minds of twelve brilliantly talented authors as they conjure stories of retribution, deceit and betrayal. Would you chance your family's fate to the gods in return for a favor? Are the finer things in life worth having once you know the cost someone else had to pay for you to indulge in them? Would you give up your most addictive passion so that others might reap the benefits, regardless of the reward? Or perhaps, the chance at a fresh start and a new life appeals to you? Are you prepared to reap what you have sown? Within this collection, you'll find tales all too believable and beyond your oddest imaginings. But there is one thing you will not find... In this anthology, there are no happy endings.

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not
All little girls, and some little boys, know the game 'He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not'. Each one who plays hopes to end on the 'He Loves Me' petal. But how many of us really find that perfect mate? That one partner who will love us unconditionally for the rest of our lives? How many of us really live the dream, and how many live through the heartbreak of ending on the 'He Loves Me Not' petal? 'He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not' is an anthology of ten stories told from ten different perspectives on love and romance. Some have happy endings, while others end in tears, on a note of desperation, or even a new beginning. A few of the stories are fantasies come true, some steamy encounters of wanton lust, and others still are tales of woe - but the one thing they all have in common - they answer the age old question; does he love me, or does he not?
