Summary

LIfe isn't easy when you're a library cat who was formerly a Cat Goddess out of Egypt. 
And then you're introduced to two young male time-travelling scientists by your friend who natively bends time herself, with the help of organic tesseracts that float around her. 
Of course their machine won't work - but then it does. 
And they are trapped in Ancient Egypt because they only went there to prove a point - and their machine was stolen meanwhile... 
So starts the Hermione series - the latest creations of S. H. Marpel in his mytery series, "Ghost Hunters". 
Anthology containing: 
- Hermione 
- When Cats Ruled 
- A Case of Lost Time 
- Enemies & Bookends 
- The Tao of Mysti 
Now, this particular anthology doesn't only talk about Hermione's adventure. We also give Mysti a chance to explain how the Lazurai healing works. Oh, you may know the Lazurai from earlier books in this series. But if you don't, check out the Notes at The Tao of Mysti's end. (Or get the earler seven books in this anthology series...) 
Excerpt: 
I'D BEEN CAUGHT IN a cross-fire. And just got saved from bleeding out. 
Now my shape-shifting was on hold until I healed. But I was stuck in human shape, having to re-learn the human experience. 
I don't know when I first appeared on Earth. Before recorded time somewhere. And for the last few centuries or so, I'd been happy as a library cat. 
But then I got bored, and started helping out with simple missions. 
Good thing they got to me in time on this one. 
Now I had to re-learn what it is to be human. Me, the cat-goddess. 
But I'd never be able to shift back to my native form without shooting pains up that arm – until I could understand human relationships - ones that always left the scholars of the ages mystified. 
Easy-peasy for a goddess. Maybe. 
- - - - 
THE FIREBALLS AND SHARP spinning discs were aimed right toward us as we arrived. 
Sent from rock-outcrops in the darkness beyond our glow-balls. An ambush. 
Sal and Jude's shields came up, but John had already gotten himself nicked. He was holding on to his other arm with his free hand, blood seeping between his fingers. We were pinned down. 
So I sent to Sal - "Let me out. I'll hold them while you get John to safety." 
"You sure?" 
"We're sitting ducks otherwise." 
Sal nodded to me and to Jude. 
I leapt out and multiplied with alternate selves, borrowed from multiple time-lines. All of us tiger-sized now. And we each held the small groups in stasis. Something I could do indefinitely. 
Sal and Jude took John out of there. The attackers and my multiple me's were now all in a Mexican stand-off. 
Until their reinforcements came in. 
Then one of my other future selves went down with a bad slice and a lot of blood. I signaled the others to retreat and take her with them. Then shrunk down to my smallest cat size and bounced out of harm's way to a small rock outcropping that was out of their firing-sights. Mostly. 
It was just a nick, but I wasn't going to hold that blood in with my tiny paws. And any larger form that had regular hands would stick out enough to become a target....

    It was a Monday. Monday was the day grandma got her medicine. She took some pill that some white-coated doctor told us would keep her alive, if only for a little while. I walked to the pharmacy a couple of blocks away through the rain. Careful to avoid the divots and dips in the beat-up sidewalk where puddles were beginning to form. 
    There’s an old store that sells rugs and carpets between Grandma’s and the pharmacy. I wove through a small crowd of disappointed people exiting the store, beneath the broken neon red sign that read Jackson pet instead of Jackson Carpet, leading would-be pet owners astray. The red luminescent glow of the misnomer blurred on its edges through the drizzle and fog. 
    One customer had brought her dog along with her. A young, well dressed and well-accessorized woman was knocking in quick bursts on the wood-framed glass door of the shop. Seemingly not understanding the miscommunication the sign had presented, even after seeing a stockpile of rolled-up rugs waiting in the store beyond. Her white-knuckle fist gripped a long, fuzzy velvet leash that strangled a fat, wrinkly old Rottweiler. The ancient beast struggling to keep up, letting itself be dragged behind along the wet pavement like a sack of old potatoes.

    An unnamed American painter resident in Rome serves as narrator in this story, watching as his god-daughter Martha, becomes the wife of Prince Marco Valerio. The young bride is eager to use some of her American fortune in the service of archeology at the Villa Valerio, her husband's somewhat run down Roman house. Archeology can be, her god-father suggests, a rather expensive hobby, but to his (and her) surprise, the dig brings to light a lovely marble statue of Juno. Martha is overjoyed, but it is soon clear that her husband is overcome by the discovery, and overcome in ways that are to be disquieting. In this, as in several of James's stories, there are elements of the supernatural -- or so the reader might invited to believe. To what, in any case, will the discovery lead?

    Stacy Aumonier was a British writer best known for his outstanding short stories. Nobel Prize-winner John Galsworthy described Aumonier as 'one of the best short story writers of all time' and predicted that he would 'outlive all the writers of his day'. Aumonier wrote over 85 short stories in his lifetime. He has been described as the 'British Maupassant', owing to his captivating plots and his ability to create complex characters with just a few lines of carefully selected prose. His intensely visual prose meant his works were readily adaptable to the cinema screen, and several of his short stories were adapted by Alfred Hitchcock.'One Law for the Rich' is the tale of two brothers, one a rich and successful businessman, the other a poor man whose business only just makes ends meet. At a cousin's funeral, both men catch a stinking cold. One is able to afford the best doctors and medicines London can provide...the other must rely on home remedies. But how will each invalid fare?
