Eclectic Mix Tape

IntroductionDear Reader, Welcome to this, my big book of love stories. Love is always on my mind. It truly is what makes the world go round. It’s also at the center of all my writing—whether it’s a heartwarming story of two lost souls finding each other or a terrifying journey into the heart of darkness, love is always present as a redemptive force. It’s the desire for love that unites us and makes us human. In these sixteen tales, you’ll get a clear idea of my view of love. Love isn’t always rosy, it’s often messy, and yet it can be the magic that makes the world bearable and that gives us hope. You’ll find a range of stories here, from the sweet to the filthy, from the hopeful to the hopeless, from the sublime to the terrifying. That’s why the tag line for this collection is love stories light and dark. I encourage you to jump right in and immerse yourself in the worlds I’ve created just for you. Why? Because I love you.
