A Cosmic Storyteller has arrived.

Here, a short-story collection comes alive in real-time...or at least our version of time. Lett VanDella is a hospice nurse who finds herself tending to a patient in a remote cottage. Each night tales are gifted to her from an entity who has introduced herself as Anthem Z, a cosmic storyteller.

For Cozy Fantasy & Sci-Fi Fans: Twilight Zone meets Once Upon a Time in this short story collection of abstract realities, parallel worlds, magic realism, fables, fairy tales, and alternate universes.

A Little Note to Readers:

I hope you enjoy the worlds you visit through these stories! If one happens to stay with you, please know the "little things" are often the feedback that means the most. Leaving a review or telling someone about a story you think they might enjoy never goes unnoticed—and somewhere behind each of those small graces is an author doing their happy dance. You help stories find new readers and gift writers more time doing what we love most: writing the next one. So, whether you simply enjoy storytime for yourself or help one travel a little farther, thank you. Your support reaches far beyond virtual confines. I’m so glad you’re here. And I appreciate you!
