"Ultimately, Intrigue: Stories of Mystery and Transcendence reminds us that every person carries unseen burdens, every act of compassion has the potential to change another life, and every journey, whether ordinary or extraordinary, contains opportunities for growth, reconciliation, and hope. Through stories that range from quiet and deeply personal to imaginative and cosmic in scale, the book celebrates the enduring mystery of what it means to be human."

"Intrigue: Stories of Mystery and Transcendence is a compelling title for an anthology, and this one lives up to its captivating name. The eleven well-crafted stories offer multicultural settings with subjects that range from lighthearted and humorous, to mystical and whimsical, while including more serious themes of heartache and abandonment. But the real beauty of this anthology is each story ends with transcendence, showcasing the tenacity of the human spirit. It's like going on an emotional roller coaster ride, with the knowledge you will land safely. I love a satisfying ending, and this anthology most definitely delivers that to its readers."

—Wendy Sand Eckel, best-selling and award-winning author of the Rosalie Hart Mystery Series

"The Introduction by the book's editor, Veronika Sprague, instantly won me. I know many readers skip anything labeled Prologue, Introduction, etc., but this mini-essay is beautiful, timely, and carries the message I've been shouting for decades. I won't do a spoiler. The book is worth reading for the Introduction alone."

—Bob Rich, multi-award-winning Australian storyteller with nineteen published books and over forty short stories
