Now and Then (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780960124374)

Far-flung places and eras separated by millennia come together in this collection of short stories about consciousness, identity, imagination, and the extraordinary experience of being human. Most of these stories have been previously published in a variety of literary journals. Two have garnered awards for short fiction.

If you have a taste for literature that entertains, prompts you to think about things you might overlook, and leaves you feeling enriched for the experience of reading, this anthology is for you. Settings range from mid-life in ancient Egypt to the superstitions of the 17th century, to the challenges of contemporary headlines. The first story takes place in the throes of the turmoil of the Inquisition in 16th century Spain. The last story is in the form of a long parable dealing with the search for meaning in human identity.
