Twelve tales of those who served on the front lines and the stories of loved ones left behind who preserved the home front. Set universes apart and separated by decades in time, the stories in Hearth and Sand reflect a continuity of service from the past to the present and into the world of tomorrow. Although the events are fictional, the voices captured within these pages came from historical notes, veterans’ own words, letters left by their ancestors, or contemporary events. Pen was put to paper in the shaded woods of a stateside farm or while watching fighter planes land in the Philippine Islands.

The tales cross genre from contemporary to historical, and science fiction to poetry.
