Better Dreams, Fallen Seeds and Other Handfuls of Hope

By Ken Scholes

​Return for a Fourth Time to Ken Scholes's Imagination Forest

An unemployed clown takes a road trip to Roswell and finds an unexpected friend. An aging, alcoholic starship captain/reality HV star at the end of his career comes up wanting in his fearless moral inventory and falls into a better dream. An asteroid belt mining prospector in the Frontier System goes seeking a wife and lands himself in an android caper.

Better Dreams, Fallen Seeds and Other Handfuls of Hope celebrates 25 years of Scholes's eclectic short fiction, logged from deep in his Imagination Forest and oozing with his humanity. Better Dreams, Fallen Seeds features stories as recent as last year and stretches all the way back to the beginning of his career in 2000, marking a quarter century in print as an author. Settle in to find a better dream of your own and maybe a little hope to slip into your pocket against a rainy day.
