Firestorm of Dragons (2008)
The first DragonEye, PI story included!
So you want to know about dragons? Run the gamut of stories about the mythological beasts in a "Firestorm of Dragons." Humorous tales of extreme sports with genetically engineered animals and pesky door-to-door salesmen with scales exist beside conventional stories of treasure and deceit, hunter and hunted, hatred and sacrifice. See how dragons exist today without most humans noticing or abandon all preconceived notions and imagine a dragon as a 1940's-style detective. Let your experience with dragons end with a trio of stories depicting possible ends to dragonkind - one uplifting, one poignant, and one heart-wrenching in its melancholy.

Leaps of Faith (2008)
Christian Sci-Fi. Finalist of 2002 EPPIE award for best anthology.
Believe in a future where science and faith live side-by-side? Leaps of Faith contains 15 stories exploring space, time and faith. Can an ancient religion bring hope to first-line explorers for whom each trip is potential suicide? What does it mean when a physicist finds God's face in the stars? Is there a "saint gene" and can it be reproduced to create miracles? What happens to your soul when your body is shattered into quantum elements and reassembled on another world? How will the Christian faith transform alien thoughts and traditions?
Read as time travelers seeking to change Biblical history and space travelers harvesting "angels" are brought to faith by their encounters. Experience tender romance and heart-pounding adventure. Laugh at the foibles of man.

Infinite Space, Infinite God (2006)
A 2007 EPIC Award Winner for Best Sci-Fi!
Interstellar exploration. Genetic engineering. Time travel. Alien abduction. The Vatican.
Explore the possibilities with Infinite Space, Infinite God, an anthology of fifteen stories about the future Catholic Church. Experience the Church's struggle to evangelize aliens and lost human colonies and to determine the soul-status for genetically modified humans, genetically-designed chimeras, and clones made from the Martian sand. Discover religious orders devoted to protecting interstellar travelers or inner-city priests. Experience technical advances that allow monks to live in solitude on the Moon and help one criminal learn the true meaning of Confession. Learn about the present and future advances that will affect Catholic doctrine in introductions by the editors.
Is there religion in your SF or SF in your religion? Either way you look at it, Infinite Space, Infinite God is fast-paced, absorbing fiction that makes you think. If you're tired of science fiction that ignores human faith or religious fiction where the technical elements are sacrificed for "the message," then ISIG is the book for you.

Short form: I'm a mother of four who writes to keep her sanity. Of course, "keeping sane" means escaping into worlds where nuns run space search and rescue operations, where a psychic teen escapes the insane asylum and arrives on another planet, and where a cynical dragon private detective has to save the multiverse--again. Want to come play in my worlds? Welcome to Fantasy Island, Fabian-style.

It was the last straw.
Dec 17, I took my computer to Best Buy because the touch pad wasn't working. After being reassured it was probably a hardware problem and knowing I'd backed up everything that morning, I turned it in for service.
Dec ...

Wow- Karina, thank you! Why do I get the impression that your characters do this to you all the time?!?
I absolutely LOVE writing fiction. I don't do a lot of planning when I write, so as the scene unfolds, I am learning what's about to happen as it happens. I love that! The guy can't find his cell phone...hmmm..this will play later! etc.
I went to your web site and can see that your mind is CHOCK FULL of ideas! I have only read one fantasy novel, and it was written by my daughter (unpublished), but I poked into some of your links and they look really cool.
God bless you and the work of your hands and write again!
If you're on facebook, please find me. It is very easy to communicate there daily. I am 'ellen c mccraney maze' on facebook, and 'ellenmaze' on Twitter.
Love, ellen

Thank you so much. I know God has given me the talent to write and to encourage others in their walk with him through fiction. I just need the guidance and the doors to open for me to get an agent and sell my book. :-) Thanks again.
