(Left) The cover of The Third Wish, by Owen Tyme, illustrated by Ryan Johnson.

A wizard in a black robe that glitters with hints of gold stands on a mountain and looks down at a city of sky scrapers covered in greenery. In his shadow lurks a creature with glowing red eyes.

In the background, the sun is setting and stars are becoming visible.

(Right Background) Four images separated by black lines, with the silhouette of a woman wielding two swords laid over them. She's outlined in black and her interior is yellow clock-based imagery that spirals outward from the center.

The upper left quarter is a queen in a red, furred robe, wearing a gold and diamond crown. She has dark eyebrows and blond hair.

Upper right is a planet seen from orbit.

Lower left is a symbolic wire frame representation of the view inside a wormhole, in green and yellow.

Lower right is dandelions among grass.

The angle of the planet, one of the woman's swords, the yellow highlights of the wormhole and some of the dandelions form a line that draws the eye along a sweeping curve.

(Right Foreground) The following quote:

He admired the flawless beauty of the insane swordswoman’s fluid movements as Ida took desperate step after step, backwards!

He felt waves of mental energy pour off the panic-stricken troll, but the energy bounced right off of Nicole’s mind, as though she’d shut herself inside a solid, red-hot, steel box of rage!

At sixty-three years old, million-dollar lottery winner PJ Halliday would be the luckiest man in Pondville, Massachusetts, if it weren’t for the tragedies of his life: the sudden death of his eldest daughter and the way his marriage fell apart after that. Since then, PJ spends both his money and his time at the bar, and he probably doesn’t have much time left—he’s had three heart attacks already.

But when PJ reads the obituary of his old romantic rival, he realizes his high school sweetheart, Michelle Cobb, is finally single again. Filled with a new enthusiasm for life, PJ decides he’s going to drive across the country to the Tender Hearts Retirement Community in Arizona to win Michelle back.

Before PJ can hit the road, tragedy strikes Pondville, leaving PJ the sudden guardian of his estranged brother’s grandchildren. Anyone else would be deterred from the planned trip, but PJ figures the orphaned kids might benefit from getting out of town. PJ also thinks he can ask Sophie, his adult daughter who’s adrift in her twenties, to come along to babysit. And there’s one more surprise addition to the roster: Pancakes, a former nursing home therapy cat with a knack of predicting death, who recently turned up outside PJ’s home.

This could be the second chance PJ has long hoped for—a fresh shot at love and parenting—but does he have the strength to do both those things again? It’s very possible his heart can’t take it.

Photograph of a person sitting in the grass and leaning against a tree trunk. Their back is to the camera. There are wearing a black shirt with white stripes, and there is a straw hat with a black band and a colorful blanket on their lap. In their hands is an open book which they appear to be reading.

(Left) The cover of the novel, Demon for President!, by Owen Tyme, illustrated by Ryan Johnson.

Two politicians shake hands, as if for a photo-op, while a city burns behind them and the flag of the United States waves in the smoke. The flag is obviously quite dirty.

The democrat on the left is in a dark suit and blue tie. He has blond hair and wears brass-framed glasses. His expression is fairly serious. There's a "Tyme to Vote" pin on his lapel.

The republican on the right is also blond, but his expression is a smile. He wears a gray suit, a red tie, brass-framed glasses with circular lenses and a small "Snake Pride" pin on his lapel, which includes a snake eating its own tail around the edge and a star at the center.

The two men are very similar in appearance, because they're brothers.

(Right) An image of a hybrid of cat and woman, with blue eyes and huge muscles, wearing a black dress, black boots and a matching top hat. Her fingernails are painted blue. The fur of her tail is very fluffy, but it's mostly off-screen. Over the op of that is the following quote:

“You are what you eat and I’ve been eating you, an arch demon! *Do you know what that makes me?*”

“Oh, no! *What have I done?*”

“I’m the eighth deadly sin, *Willful Insanity!* Pride isn’t the root of all sin, because *that’s me!*”

(Left) The cover of Legacy of Newts, by Owen Tyme.

In the background dawn, as seen from space, above a blue world.

In the foreground is a line drawing of a red spotted newt, in white. The lines of the newt are outlined in black, to help it stand out. The interior of the line drawing has been filled with the image of a spiral galaxy in red, orange and yellow, with a blue color that shades to white at the center, which lines up with the newt's head. The galaxy almost looks like fire.

(Right) The background is a blue and orange nebula, with the following text over it:

“You gotta be real strong, real bright, real quick, or real lucky to survive drawing *attention*. Which are you?”

“I’m quick, Amelia is bright, Marta is strong and all three of us have been lucky, after a fashion: if we didn’t have bad luck, then I suppose we wouldn’t have any luck at all.”

<p>Whoever recommended Rabbit Test: And Other Stories, by Samantha Mills, Thank you very much!</p><p>This is a perfect collection for readers who love speculative fiction. These stories are well-written, clever, and imaginative. And I'm glad that my library system didn't have a copy to borrow, and I had to buy it, because I would have ended up purchasing it anyway. </p><p><a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#bookstodon</a><br><span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <a href="/tags/shortstories/" rel="tag">#ShortStories</a></p>
