TYING UP LOOSE ENDS

About the Book

About the Book In this sixth short story collection, Linda Anne Monica Schneider combines a few favorites from her earlier books with new fantasy and science fiction pieces, interspersed with some religious and spiritual reflection essays. As the title implies, in this compilation she has attempted to resolve plots and characters from other earlier stories. She answers questions such as: What happened to Snow White’s stepmother after the princess found and married her prince? What is it like to land on and explore an unknown planet? Did Luna Star settle down as a sea captain’s wife after her people went home to their far away planet, and did they adopt a child? What was it like on the first Easter? How do we prepare for the real “end times?” If you really want to know, please read this book!
