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

    TALES FROM AN IRONIC MIND TWO 
    Come take a little journey, maybe just a bit out of your comfort zone, maybe dancing a bit on that line of sanity and madness. Maybe you are one of those people who see things a bit differently, from an angle not often noticed. Do you walk on that road not often traveled? Do you sometimes want to take just a little peak at that great abyss? Do you find life sometimes mystical and magical while others are complaining about the gray? Go ahead, try and guess where the story is going and how it is going to end. Maybe you too, have an ironic mind.

    Pádraic Pearse, who played a prominent part in the 1916 rebellion, declared Ireland a Republic from the steps of the General Post Office in Dublin. He was executed, along with the other leaders, for his part in the Rising. But he was a gentle warrior at heart. These five stories show us that Pearse was a man of deep understanding with immense human awareness of the way of life of the average person. He analyses the sorrows and joys of the Irish people of his time, and writes of the tragedies of life and death from which they could never escape.
