The Adventure of Creation
With a Foreword by Holly Lisle Adventures and Creativity can be found everywhere as the 35 short stories of this anthology show. Each author found a different angle for the unifying theme: The Adventure of Creation.

Witness a solitary drone on Mars or a naive homunculus struggle to become human. Sew with a mother who lost her daughter in a unicorn quilt, defeat bank robbing super-villains with an unlikely superhero, or join a great mage in the fire.

Princess Fire Rose and the Honey Rose Elves
Fire Rose, the princess of the red rose elves, is quite different from what you would imagine an elf princess to be: she eats a little too much and doesn't fly very well – but she is full of energy and good ideas. The rose elves live in the flowers of rose bushes in the middle of a large garden. One day, Fire Rose discovers a yellow rose bush at the other end of the meadow. Here she meets Princess Honey Rose and the yellow rose elves. The Fire and Honey Rose elves quickly become friends. Together they go on a treasure hunt. New games are invented. A rainy Midsummer night's party can still be a success. But above all, Fire Rose has to deal with the hostile rose elf Bloomelia.

Mats is very impressed with an old book he found in a chest in the attic. It is about a boy scout named Walter, who is always very happy because he performs at least one good deed every day. Without hesitation, Mats decides to copy Walter. He is actually feeling quite unhappy at the moment because he has moved to another town with his parents. But it's not quite so easy to help people. He tries with his parents, with the people in his house, an old woman in the street whose bag he wants to carry home - but everywhere, Mats gets into trouble. And then there is the matter of the donation for starving children in Africa ... Mats begins to have doubts: has he chosen the right role model for himself?

The Bookworm Next Door
High School was supposed to be a fresh start for the bookworm and her neighbor. David Carver is willing to do whatever it takes to protect Delilah from his 'friends', but he is growing tired of the image that he feels he has to maintain to keep his place in his school's social order, including the people that he hurt along the way to get there. Filled with regret, he is not certain how to change the past or if he even can. Is being popular really worth dealing with the negativity from his so-called friends? Delilah keeps herself hidden behind books and her new friends. She doesn't know what to expect after her two older sisters forced a make-over on her right before her senior year starts. S...
Legendary Locals of East Aurora
Nestled along the banks of Cazenovia Creek, East Aurora is a cultural center of western New York State that has flourished because of the diverse talents of its people. Native Americans lived in East Aurora for thousands of years before the first settlers came to the area in 1804. One of the first pioneers, Martha Richardson Adams, carried her infant child on horseback all the way from Massachusetts. East Aurora grew rapidly after the War of 1812, evolving into an important business center south of Buffalo. By the 1880s, the village had become a horse-racing capital, where thousands came to Cicero Hamlin's farm to get a glimpse of his legendary horse, Mambrino King. As the century came to a close, hundreds of creative types were drawn to the Roycroft Campus, where Elbert Hubbard had established an arts and crafts colony. Despite modern developments, East Aurora remains a small village at heart, where the owners of the barbershop, bookstore, pharmacy, coffee shop, theater, and old-fashioned 5 & 10 still greet you at the door.
The Magic Fix
The Known World needs a fix or things could get very ugly (even uglier than an Ogre!) “Did we win the battle?” asked King Wyndham. “Well it depends how you define winning,” answered Longfield, one of the King’s royal commanders. In fact, the Humans are fighting a losing battle with the Trolls. Meanwhile the Ogres are up to something, which probably isn’t good. Could one flying unicorn bring about peace in the Known World? No, obviously not. But maybe a group of rebels have the answer. Or maybe the answer lies with a young Pixie with one remarkable gift. Does the Elvish Oracle have the answer? Who knows? And even if she did would anyone understand her cryptic answers (we all know what Oracles are like!) The Known World is in danger of being rent in twain, and twain-rending is never good! Did I mention the dragon? No? Ah… well… there’s also a dragon. Visit bit.ly/TheMagicFix Cover design: A and S Buck
