Random Acts of Romance is an anthology of subtle love stories. Simple, thoughtful, modest, and deeply human, the collection is meant as much for the sensible reader as for the romantic. The stories touch upon the lives of an artist, a wanderlust, a start-up entrepreneur, an old crush, tweens in a food festival, another with a spare movie ticket, a couple entrusted to end an alliance, an erstwhile rejected marriage alliance, someone lost in the corporate rat race, and a dedicated single parent.

From sharp-tongued satire to moments that break your heart, Resonance is the most unflinching volume yet in the acclaimed Conversations with the Devil collection.

Elsewhere, a comedian takes verbal swings at a trial lawyer, and the Devil’s familiar bite returns in stories that skewer ego, vanity, and the absurdities of human nature.

They promised perfection. The Black-Box program built Echo-units — cloned soldiers engineered to never tire, never falter, never fail. Dr. Elara Kane called it evolution. General Heller called it the future of war. But Sergeant Major Cole Maddox saw what they really became. It started with a single patient in a hospital ER. One bite. One moan for brains. Then it spread city to city, faster than bullets, fire, or bombs could stop it. Napalm couldn’t. Nuclear fire couldn’t. Humanity’s weapons only turned the world to ash.
