In this debut anthology by author Jeffrey Ellis, we are introduced to the strange worlds of magical sailor scouts attempting to hide their powers from their loving wives, young boys confronting their shiny new android stepmothers, and much more.

Every story is written to entertain, to inspire, and, most importantly, to share.
