Tender hearts. Strange sparks. Deeper waters.
Strange and Tender is a three-volume collection of short stories that gently explores the full spectrum of human connection — from the sweet nervousness of new love, through the strange and wondrous, to the deep waters of grief, healing, and hope.
Blending heartfelt romance, speculative fiction, and quiet emotional truth, these stories remind us that it’s okay to feel everything deeply — and that we are never truly alone in our tenderness or our strangeness.
Volume 1: Tender Beginnings
Sometimes love starts with a spilled drink, an awkward collision, or a quiet act of kindness.
Warm, heartfelt stories about new love in all its clumsy, hopeful, and deeply human forms.
Volume 2: Strange Sparks
Some love stories don’t begin in the light. They begin where reality bends.
Ghosts, time travel, AI love, and connections across dimensions.
Volume 3: Deeper Waters
Some stories take you to the depths — grief, sacrifice, healing, and the courage to keep going.
