Stories to Take You Away
We all lead busy lives. Sometimes, it feels like we never have enough time to take care of what others want from us, let alone enough to spend a few quiet moments to ourselves. I’ve found just sitting down and opening a book—one that immediately transports me to a different place, maybe a different world or even a different time—can be exactly what I need to recharge the batteries and push on. That’s what this site is about. The stories here suspend day-to-day, ordinary life and replace it with the extraordinary. One such place is Merkim’s World. I can guarantee you, life with her is never ordinary. Check out her story in the novels and novellas just below.
