Shadows of the Rose by Annette Gisby

Shadows of the Rose is a varied collection of short stories. From the far reaches of space and the future to historical, there is a bit of everything.

The Witch Hunter - a young girl is accused of sorcery and the witch hunter sent to condemn her is not as he seems...

Baby Blues - set in a future where family planning is controlled by the state and it is illegal to make love...

Free Falling - some friendly aliens have found the cure for most of human diseases, except for one--the one you have...

The Glass Guitar - Meg thinks a haunted guitar might be just the present for her musician boyfriend's birthday...

Shadows of the Rose - a lovers' tryst in a ruined abbey, but there is something not quite right - what's that there, hidden beneath the shadows of the rose?

This anniversary collection also features the two recent short stories, The Prince's Guard and Of Pets and Pleasures, which have never been in this collection before, although they are available separately as ebooks.
