    About this ebook

    This anthology explores how the world could have ended in five different ways on Dec. 21, 2012. The first answers the question: "What would happen if dragons came out of hiding?"
    "Music" follows the travels of two musicians as they try to figure out what the tall, thin alien-like being is and why is disappears when they try to get a closer look.
    God, the Devil and Death argue about what to do with our over-populated planet. Lighter humour as the three powers make fun of each other and comment about Earth.
    Abnormal flora and an "Alice in Wonderland" type story dominates "Picnic". The young child must figure out what happened on Friday, Dec. 12 2012 and why she can't seem to remember it.
    "Ask before Shooting" explores the realm of Ambrosia, a magical place filled with mythical creatures and ruled by a single King. The problem? Ignorant Earthlings tried to blow up the planet and one Ambrosian in particular is not pleased.
    Are any of these stories actually plausible? The only to know is to read and find out.
    Also included is a free six chapter preview of author Dairenna VonRavenstone's full length novel "The Tale of the Twins Book 1".

    Dairenna VonRavenstone

    Dairenna VonRavenstone hails from the snowy North (Canada) where it's not all that snowy for six months out of the year. She enjoys reading a good story and boasts a personal library of over 1,000 books. Writing came as a hobby to her when she was 10 and she spent the better part of a decade honing the craft, writing an estimated 1 million words and 40 stories (novel-length and short) in various stages of completion. She is assured that most of those words will never see the light of day and be burned in a ritualistic fashion eventually. Dairenna (Renna to her friends) writes to bring joy, happiness and love into the hearts of her fans...or something like that.
