The Lingering Solitude of the Girl on the Moon (and Other Single-Serving Stories)

Contains nine short stories, most with a gooey core of fairy tale and myth, encased in a fragile shell of slice-of-life.

A couple seeks a lucky charm, the dryad of a banyan tree wishes to go where clouds are made; and people generally trying to figure out life and love and loneliness.

Characters from the author's other work, the Witch-Girl and Red, feature in their own short stories.
