In this collection, the author of the engaging speculative-fantasy novel series The Randolph Family Saga conducts protagonists and readers alike across that threshold, on excursions ranging from tongue-in-cheek to chilling:  take a museum tour with a Trickster Deity … hike with hippies on a mystical mountain near San Francisco … sail the Pacific with only whales for company … honeymoon at a romantic old castle near Loch Ness … spend a monsoon season at a lonely outpost in India …
