About the author

Theresa Halvorsen has never met a profanity she hasn’t enjoyed. She’s generally overly-caffeinated and at times, wine-soaked. The author of multiple spec-fiction works, including Warehouse Dreams and River City Widows, in addition to various short stories and non-fiction articles, Theresa wonders what sleep is. Because she didn’t have enough to do, she also started No Bad Books Press with S. Faxon, and edits for other spec-fiction writers. When she’s not writing, editing, publishing or podcasting with the Semi-Sages of the Pages, she’s commuting through San Diego traffic to her healthcare position. In whatever free time is left (ha!), Theresa enjoys board games, geeky conventions, and reading. Her life goal is to give "Oh-My-Gosh-This-Book-Is-So-Good!" happiness to her readers. She lives in Temecula with her amazing husband, occasionally her college-age twins, and the pets they’d promised to care for. Find her at www.theresaHauthor.com and on Twitter and Facebook.

Reviews

[Laura Ruetz · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a wonderful collection of short stories that all involve a portal or gateway to another world. Each of these stories gives us a small glimpse of another world, or of two worlds colliding. The writing style is truly compelling, with characters that are engaging. It's just a few pages, I was fully captivated with each story. And these span several genres,fantasy, sci-fi, steampunk and paranormal, it really has a unique feel to each story. A Way Out and Candles, Pennies, Dandelions and wishes are t favorites but all the stories here are strong.
