Two new anthologies are now available! DRAGON’S LURE, featuring “Perchance to Dream”, a post-Negotiator Janx story: The mask was nearly as beautiful as the woman bearing it. They were both dark: it of ironwood so old its chocolate hues had aged to black; she with lustrous skin that said no white men had bred into her aboriginal stock.
