    About this ebook

    From the story of flies storming the Pentagon to the fan fiction of Final Fantasy set in the distant past, this collection of novellas showcases my evolution as an author over the decades. Within these pages, the reader will find five tales of the science fiction variety and fantasy. Flies and zombies and star ships and rideable birds galore.
