Here You Enter

Yesterday, Tomorrow & Fantasy

When I was mulling over stories to publish in my second collection, I noticed the stories fell into historical, futuristic, and fantasy categories.

ODDITIES: 22 Stories includes those previously published in Omni Magazine, Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Full Spectrum 5, The Shimmering Door, Peter S. Beagle’s Immortal Unicorn, David Copperfield’s Tales of the Impossible, Not One of Us Fiction and Poetry Journal, and Daily Science Fiction, plus six new stories.

“I find myself constantly surprised by the breadth of styles, places, and characters in this collection. ....sometimes you want to be surprised; and that’s what Ms. Mason delivers in this collection.... Like Ray Bradbury’s short stories, these never fail to surprise you with little sparkles and occasional rockets going off and spreading happy fireworks in your brain!”--Amazing Stories Online Review
