(This link goes to her blog)  Again, they’re younger than us, and this came completely out of the blue.  There’s been a lot of it this year. If you can’t help, (and I think this year we all get that) please pray for them if you’re a praying kind.

FROM CAROLINE FURLONG:  The Guardian Cycle, Vol.1: In Dreams and Other Stories.

A man whose debts must be paid by vengeance. A woman desperate to save her husband. A grieving father finding a young enemy soldier on his veritable doorstep…

These fantasy and soft sci-fi stories wonder whether or not heroes need families. Are we not told that families slow the hero down? Is it not typically implied that they get in the way of the adventure? Are they a burden, or truly the greatest strength from which the hero and those he loves can draw?

Six tales in this collection center on family, faith, and self-sacrificing love as men and women fight for the ones whom they hold most dear. Whether the enemy is inner turmoil, a nightmare, or a demon really does not matter. If the threat seeks to harm a member of the family, it is going to pay dearly.
