What Dreams May Come: A Paranormal Anthology

The supernatural world doesn't confine itself to the days around All Hallows Eve, when the portals between worlds are open. Sometimes the spirits slip through and choose to linger. Sometimes they have never left.

Ghosts are not a topic of easy conversation, as the heroine in "Light and Shadows," the first story in my short story anthology, "What Dreams May Come," learns too well. And yetthe spirits will have their way. That cloying scent of magnolia where there should be none, a cat running berserk late at night, an image that watches us as we hover between sleep and wakefulnessIs it real or merely our imaginations? What can we do about it?

And, from a ghost's perspective, why would we want to do anything? Bodyguard Victor Sun, the ghost in the second story, "The Guardian," has never heard the words "Mission accomplished." After his sudden death, he soldiers on, orchestrating the lives and loves of succeeding generations of the Li family, whom he swore to protect. But, can flesh and blood stand up to a ghost?

Can reality stand up to dreams? The title story, "What Dreams May Come," begins with a recurring dream of ancient lovers that is sufficiently worrisome that Kate agrees to past life regression therapy. Is her financé Henry really the ancient warrior Hinto? If they are one and the same, is that a reason to end the engagement or for wedding bells to ring?
