Synopsis

In these twelve SFF stories, will emotion bring out the best in people… or showcase their worst impulses? Ann won’t rest until she sets the past to rights. But when time travel becomes a complicated conversation with multiple versions of herself, will she end up criminally insane? Alien priestess Ariane’s identity is rooted in her religion. Will her naïve empathy leave her exposed to a determined human prisoner’s deception? Alan Idle is trapped inside his wheelchair-bound programmer’s laptop. When a hurricane threatens to cut off the electricity that powers him, will her fierce fight to keep him safe reveal a deeper truth? Exploring grief, affection, and the ties that bind us all together, this thought-provoking and diverse set of a dozen fantastical stories takes readers on a riveting trip around the galaxy. Whether it’s venturing into the criminal underworld with a wizard or delving into tough questions about how society treats the differently abled, Villyard’s elegant prose infuses each otherworldly scenario and cleverly evokes critical contemplations on expectations, reality, and humanity's future. Love Stories is an eclectic collection of speculative fiction tales. If you like relatable characters, complex themes, and mind-bending twists, then you’ll adore Katherine Villyard’s contrast of the mythical and the mundane. Buy Love Stories today to question what makes a person a person!

Goodreads review by D on October 07, 2022

Summary: A collection of short stories, each demonstrating ties that people form with each other and how they attempt to preserve them. What lengths would someone to go demonstrate that caring? What mistakes would someone make to pursue a more ‘perfect’ life? Love isn’t just a state of being, an adj......more

It was very easy to get immersed in each story despite them all being so short. It was fun to see the different types of love between different types of beings (whether it be human, alien, or robotic).......more
