This collection of short speculative tales collects the most inspired unpublished writings of E.D.E. Bell between 2021 and 2025. In these pages wait abandonment and isolation, but also hope, bravery-and love."Every moment in every story feels real, even the ones involving magic or metaphor. This collection tastes home baked with love, outrage, good intentions, and the need to be seen and appreciated in all our complex, overlapping identities."-Clara Ward, author of Be the Sea E.D.E. Bell was born in the year of the fire dragon during a Cleveland blizzard. With an MSE in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan, three amazing children, and nearly two decades in Northern Virginia and Southwest Ohio developing technical intelligence strategy, she now applies her magic to the creation of genre-bending fantasy fiction in Ferndale, Michigan, where she is proud to be part of the Detroit arts community. A passionate vegan and enthusiastic denier of gender rules, she feels strongly about issues related to human equality and animal compassion. She revels in garlic. She loves cats and trees.
