|  | | Amphibious Dreamers
This is a multi-genre collection including mainstream, mystery, science fiction, and fantasy short stories.
The stories in this collection are organized loosely by genre, although such designations can be ambiguous. Mainstream stories blur with mystic overtones. Fantasies seem surprisingly real. Science fiction becomes science fact.
If there's a common theme running through these tales, it's the classic search for courage, redemption, love, endurance, inspiration, understanding, compassion and transcendence - all the things that we humans have been aspiring to since beginningless time.
