Synopsis
ADVENTURES IN TIME AND PLACE: Collected Stories, Volume 1 is the first full-sized anthology of short fiction from Ray Anselmo. This collection contains nineteen stories of real life at its limits – whether in love, in crisis, in confusion or even in space – including four never before published:
* “The Secret Keeper” – Matthew Cohn is a professional secret-keeper, hired to be a confessor to people burdened by things they can't tell anyone else. But when one confession strikes too close to home, he finds his life and career hanging in the balance as he wrestles with the truth.
* “The View from the Cliff” – a follow-up to the first novel of the Scotia Saga, The Slave Auction. Eliza Cronin knows that her former slave (and new husband) Aaron had a life before she bought him in the Scotia marketplace. But a visit to his hometown sends him into a depression, and Eliza discovers a mystery that may not have a solution ...
* “When I Ruled the World” – a humble Christian street-sweeper finds himself face to face with a Muslim assassin in the Middle Ages, and ends up taking a trip through his past – with a destination that surprises both of them.
* “Alone, with Companions” – Decades after his glory years as one of Los Angeles' hottest radio DJs, a man reflects on the journey that led him to a tiny station in Oregon, and a life unlike any he could've imagined.
Romance, drama, science fiction and history; faith and doubt; despair and wonder; fear and grace – the rainbow of human experience in all its messy glory, in bite-sized pieces for you to enjoy. If you like short fiction – if you like reading at all! – there's something in ADVENTURES IN TIME AND PLACE for you!
