A Matter of
Money
Robert Moriyama
With all quiet on the 'Morningstar' front, it was back to business for Majius Magical Services. The gremlins sabotaging
the "More Real Than Real" dolls should have been easy to deal with — but things were more complicated than they
seemed.
Acts of Reprisal
John M.
Cowan
When Mahoney had retired from the military, he figured that doing corporate security work would be an easy gig. But now he had to
avenge a double murder — one victim Cintaran, the other human — or have the trading mission he was working for stuck in

Clean Blood
Rob Bass
Internship at Cook County Hospital was exhausting. Getting roped into building the website for the Blood Bank made it worse. But

Rosepetal and the Hunter
Joe Vadalma
The fairy Rosepetal had come of age and it was time for her to find a mate. Choosing a human — choosing to become

Tim C. Taylor

specialist Erik Gunnarson suspected that the truth about the colonization mission from Earth was something else entirely. If only
somebody would listen!
The Importance of Being
Khan
Gregory Adams
Warren Pohmer was accustomed to the usual nuisances of suburban life — salesmen, neighborhood pets using his yard as a
litter box, kids selling candy to raise money for whatever — but the so-called psychic insisting that Warren carried the soul
of Genghis Khan was a new one. And calling the police turned out to be exactly the wrong thing to do…
The Shaper's Folly
Ee Pin Pang
The Shaper was the ultimate judge of the Accepted. If he thought an Initiate worthy, he would use his powers to transform the man
or woman into something far greater. But after decades at his task, the Shaper had grown weary — and careless.
Tiburcio's Treasure
G. Lloyd Helm
The story Rio Rita spun about her great grandfather and why his ghost haunted the rocks at Agua Dulce was too juicy for Big Dave
and her best customer to ignore. At least the tequila made it seem that way, enough so that the trio just had to go and call Tiburcio
out to reclaim what he'd lost so many years ago.
