Extended description

Mason Evers’ thirtieth birthday depresses him, so his wife Roxy decides to give him a present he will never forget. Only the present malfunctions. Should Mason and Roxy fix the present? Or should they simply enjoy it?

With the complete bonus story, “The Japanese Sword.”

“A joy of clarity and lyricism. She is a new breed of writer: a Renaissance woman.”
—Charles de Lint
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction

Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s occasionally strange stories have appeared in a variety of genres under a variety of names. She writes as Kris DeLake, Kristine Grayson, and Kristine Dexter in romance, Kris Nelscott in mystery, and uses her own name, Kristine Kathryn Rusch in science fiction, fantasy, and mystery. Usually she claims all of her short stories, although sometimes she wonders the wisdom of that, despite all the awards and best-of-the-year collections her stories have acquired.
