They called him a chameleon — he could be whatever you wanted him to be.The person he played with the most was a woman named Ruby.But Ruby was keeping secrets too. Because in the day world?

You can get book 1free by signing up for the Telling Stories newsletter. The short stories should be read in sequence — look for book 1, Opening Pandora's Box, if you haven't read the first set — but they can be read separate from the main series. However, you'll enjoy it more to read both the series and the short-story collections together. This second collection of stories is best read after Newsroom PDX Book 5, Change.
