Summary

AURORA AWARD WINNER 
The Walker is a child of the two Realms of the Continuum, a prince of Order and of Chaos—and a rebel against both. When he falls in love with an ephemeral, a mortal woman who is the key to the balance between the Realms, he triggers a struggle for her life—and the fate of her universe.  
Fantasy short story 
Reviews 
"A very different sort of tale. ... A cosmic story of gods which seems to be inspired by the works of Michael Moorcock, and I think he would not be ashamed of it. —SF Crowsnest Reviews 
"A tale of epic love when a mortal gets caught between a battle of the gods. Smith reminds us that we have the potential to change the world around us and that self-sacrifice can be a means of making the world around us better." —Speculating Canada

    Three Killer Thriller Quick Reads featuring villains you'll love to hate... 
Enjoy a brief excursion into the warped mind of author, Will Patching, 'hosted' by award-winning narrator, Gary Furlong: 
JUSTICE — A Crewell story (c35 mins) 
A convict is tormented by his wife’s memory — and his lack of one…  
OLD FLAME — A twisted tale of lust, obsession and revenge (c70 mins) 
Will Tom Creed's obsession with his deceased 'old flame' leave him badly burned? 
THE BUTCHER — A Cockney killer thriller (c45 mins) 
Meet Antony Harding, psychopath. He'll make your skin crawl...  
Why Short Shots? 
If these dark and disturbingly twisted 'short shots' leave you wanting more, they will have achieved their purpose. 
Some of the characters and themes of the author's novels in The Remorseless Trilogy were inspired by these mini-thrillers. In fact, vicious psychopath Antony Harding, eponymous 'star' of The Butcher, plays a major role in book two of that series, so if you feel the urge to meet this unreformed reprobate again, you may do so... 
But be warned—like all this author's fictional works—his stories are not for the faint-hearted.

    The short story is often viewed as an inferior relation to the Novel but it is an art in itself.  To take a story and distil its essence into fewer pages while keeping character and plot rounded and driven is not an easy task.  Many try and many fail.  James Fenimore Cooper was one to succeed creating miniature masterpieces with a lot to say. James Fenimore Cooper was born in Burlington, New Jersey on September 15, 1789.  He lived most of his life in Cooperstown, New York (established by his father William).   Although he attended Yale university, he was expelled and joined the US Navy as a Midshipman which was to provide much influence and research materials for his later writings. Although a Naval historian he is forever associated with one great book – Last Of The Mohicans.  His output was prolific and included the famed Leatherstocking series. He was wildly popular as an author with his blend of history and romance.  Here we bring you two of his short stories which are a fascinating insight to his view on life. He died of dropsy on September 14, 1851, the day before his 62nd birthday. Our readers are Richard Mitchley and Ghizela Rowe.
