Nothing is Ever Promised

In this collection, siblings face uncertain futures, strange adversaries, and impossible choices as well as their sometimes painful relationships with one another. In one story, the global community celebrates a monumental achievement, but one astronomer just wants her brother to know the truth. In another, a cowboy's siblings want to put him out of business, but he won't go down without a fight. An underachieving banjo player upstages his FBI-agent brother on an intergalactic stage. An old elephant says goodbye to her beloved sister. Finally, twin superheroes confront the limitations of their powers and the shady organization that made them who they are.

These tales, set in desolate landscapes and alternate realities, draw readers into futures both bleak and beautiful as the stories themselves increase in length and complexity.
