    About this ebook

    "Story Hunger" is a short collection of two stories and one flash fiction piece: a tale from the cycle of the Rose knights; a fantasy prose poem; a story of Native American magic and of Raven in an alternate Pacific Northwest.

    What these stories have in common is that they all revolve around the power of words; to affect us, to move us, to change us.
