In Solstice Chronicles Jeff Patterson has shown his solid grasp of what is important to good story telling. The richly developed characters, exotic, otherworldly locations and fantastic situations in this anthology work to create stories that spark the imagination. Patterson has pulled off a wonderful fusion of high minded Science Fiction with the jaunty, hopeful qualities that make the holidays fun!

I've been a fan of Jeff's writing since I first discovered his work at a small press comic con many years ago. His most recent work, The Solstice Chronicles, further establishes Jeff as one of the best unsung sci-fi writers of the last decade. This collection of short stories runs the gamut from high adventure to side splitting humor to old-fashioned sentimentality. A great way to get introduced to Jeff's style and a great little stocking stuffer for the sci fi fan on your X-mas list.
