For some time I had been encouraged by my proofreader, the late Techsan, to put some of my better works into a compilation of sorts. Well, Techsan, this is for you. What follows are stories as yet unpublished, chapters from my novels that we felt had not received the attention they deserved, and stories that just cried out to be released again to the many new readers out there. Enjoy, Paris Waterman / (Reviews)

A Story in the Maggie May Universe
The story of a woman that tries to change her life after ten years of accepting gentlemen callers when the light on the door was lit.

After more than two hundred picaresque stories set in the American Revolution, the journals now cover the war's last two years, 1780-81, with more ribald tales.

The year is 1934 and Europe is a powder keg, just waiting for the right moment to spark off. Minerva Gold, a Jew living in Great Britain, feels as if there is nothing she can do but watch the world descend into madness...until she gets a telegram inviting her into a world of magic and wonder, whisking her to the magical school of Hexgramatica. Unfortunately, the evils of the mundane world and the evils of the magical world are not so far apart as one might wish...
