The Passing of the Dragon and Other Stories

The Passing of the Dragon and Other Stories is a collection of speculative stories that blend science fiction, fantasy, and mythology while exploring themes of memory, identity, family, creativity, and the enduring connections between generations. The stories range from intimate personal dramas to far-reaching visions of the future, featuring artists, robots, mythical creatures, spacefarers, and ordinary people whose lives are transformed by extraordinary events.

Among the collection are stories of dragons appearing in unexpected places, intelligent machines searching for freedom and purpose, a painter striving to capture a moment of transcendence, an aging scorpion helping his daughter break with tradition, and a consciousness witnessing the death and rebirth of the universe. Together, the stories examine how people preserve their humanity through art, love, imagination, and the stories they leave behind.
