In Flight of the Nightingale, down-timer Francesca Caccini is inspired by the arrival of Grantville to seek a different destiny from what would have been her lot in a future without the up-timer intrusion--that is, to die with a reputation as a brilliant composer and performer, but to later be forgotten by all but the cognoscenti. And in Bach to the Future, Johann and his brothers commit themselves to preserve, protect, and promote their family's heritage from the future, even if in this future there will be no Johann Sebastian Bach!

Chaim Caan, an observant Orthodox Jew, faces a unique coming-of-age challenge when he learns he has transformed into a vampire. This unexpected twist forces him to navigate the complexities of his faith, identity, and the supernatural, as he seeks to reconcile his religious beliefs with his new reality. The story explores themes of self-discovery and the struggle between tradition and change in a world that has suddenly become both familiar and alien.
