About the Collection<\/h2>\n

From Aidan Moher\u2014Hugo Award-winning editor of A Dribble of Ink\u2014comes Tide of Shadows and Other Stories, a collection of five science fiction and fantasy stories spanning adventure, comic whimsy, and powerful drama\u2014from a star-faring military science fiction tale of love and sacrifice, to a romp through the dragon-infested Kingdom of Copperkettle Vale. <\/p>\n

\u201cA Night for Spirits and Snowflakes\u201d is the story of a young man reliving the last moments of his fellow soldiers\u2019 lives; \u201cThe Girl with Wings of Iron and Down\u201d tells the tale of a broken family and a girl with mechanical wings; \u201cOf Parnassus and Princes, Damsels and Dragons\u201d introduces a typical prince, princess, and dragon\u2014and a not-so-typical love triangle; \u201cThe Colour of the Sky on the Day the World Ended\u201d follows a girl and her ghost dog as they search for a bright light in the darkness; and \u201cTide of Shadows\u201d is about a soldier and his lover, a mother, and planetwide genocide.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In addition to the five stories (four originals and one reprint), Tide of Shadows and Other Stories<\/em> also includes story notes for each tale. These give readers insight into the origins of the story and explore some of the ways they’ve impacted me as a writer.<\/p>\n
