The stories in this anthology have been published before, but they have not been widely circulated. These stories are some of my favorite works, and I created this book to put them all in one place for the listener.

The Emperor's Will, Sergius the Sorcerer, Living Ink, and Reset are a few of my first publications, so they will always hold a special place in my heart.

Twenty-four-year-old Zarah likes three things: comics, cake, and solitude. She wasn’t always like this. Two years ago, she barricaded herself in a closet during a mass shooting. Now, she keeps flashbacks and panic attacks at bay by imagining she becomes her alter-ego Z, a masked superhero who walks confidently on stilettos and pulls lightning bolts from the frizz in her hair. Enter Greg, a heart patient and local comic store clerk. With the promise of signed comics, sprinkles, and a mean grilled cheese, Greg helps pull Zarah out of her head and into the real world.
