Once Upon a Blue Moon: Stories to Enrapture the Mind, Delight the Senses, and Chill the Soul

A blood-drinker offers protection to the daughter of a drug lord. A guardian is more than he seems. A girl is taken on the ride of her life. The inner beast takes control. Obsession is made into art. Blood is thicker than water. Some things just aren’t worth coming home for. Stuck between fire and water. The end of the world really isn’t. Anything is better than marriage. When you look into the abyss, the abyss looks back. Jessica Barone, author of The Shadowlands series, offers this collection of short stories to enrapture the mind, delight the senses, and chill the soul.

Jessica Barone is an educator, an avid reader and writer, and the mother of a warrior princess. She credits her Sicilian grandmother's stories of the old country as her earliest source of inspiration. Today Jessica is a mother who tells stories to her own child, and has kept her love of the supernatural alive by watching scary movies, melodramatic Netflix shows, and reading slightly disturbing novels in her spare time.
