Out of Reach and Other Stories

The heroines of these six tales all direct their efforts toward not losing themselves when they fall in love with someone out of reach. -----“Out of Reach" features the young and bold Isis who tries to win the love of a NASA scientist she meets as a result of a Facebook pairing. “The Fiction of Ellas Reality” shows Ellas ambition of taking possession of her cold lover by locking him into a work of fiction from which he cannot escape. "Our Place" finds Emma herself rather locked in a life as if it were a work of fiction, in which she can accept her out of touch lover in the privacy of their obsessions. "Out of the Ocean" brings the magic of mythology into a battle of wits between the alluring Isabella and a god-like man.----“Tightly bound to the greater forces of astrology and the magic of mythology, Miranda's characters suffer through the tension between attraction and avoidance. The tales as a body of work reconcile the fears and desires that guide the heroines to their destiny, where a loss of self could lead to the discovery of new powers within them. ------“As you prepare to read these tales, expect to find loves seductive language along with unlimited entertainment from the heroines as they are tantalized by what is out of their reach." - Dr. Michael E. Wong-Russell - Professor of Spanish and Latin American Literature.
