    A True Hero - (Humor) - Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. This one is heroic indeed.

     

    Man of Her Dreams - (Speculative fiction) - Will what Aaron at first believes to be a curse, turn out to be a blessing? She won't know until she finds  the man of her dreams.

     

    A Woman's World - (Humor) - A satyrical look at current, or past, headlines. Wouldn't it be great if the world were ruled by women? Or would it?
