Not Dreamt of in Your PhilosophyA secret society of cats that pulls the strings of history. The strange relationship between trolls and football. A congressional hearing concerning terrorists and dance lessons.
You've never dreamt of things like this.
Award-winning writer, playwright, and poet Lynn Veach Sadler offers twenty-one of her most acclaimed short stories in this one unique collection.
A native North Carolinian, as Vice President of Academic Affairs at Methodist College, she originated the first conference on academic computing in North Carolina.A college president in Vermont before very many women filled such a role; she is a Distinguished Woman of North Carolina.

Dr. Sadler now works full-time as a creative writer and an editor. She has a full-length poetry collection forthcoming and has had several chapbooks published, including To "Talk in That Book" of Nature (principally Native American poems), which received the Dickson Prize from the Georgia Poetry Society and was named the 2007 Alabama State Poetry Society Book of the Year.

Her short story on Patrick Swayze won the Abroad Writers Competition/Fellowship (France). Another was a finalist for and was published in Del Sol Press's Best of 2004: The Robert Olen Butler Prize Anthology.

She gives readings of her poetry and fiction around the country and likes to write plays (and other works) on commission.
I first came across Dr. Sadler's work when she entered our annual writing contest several years ago. Her poem
Again--Les Fleurs du Mal was selected for inclusion in our
Bardic Tales and Sage Advice anthology. Since then, she has been something of a regular with us at Bards and Sages. We published her remarkable novella
Foot Ways in 2007. Last year, her poetry was included in our
Quill Full of Shadows chapbook. She is an exceptionally talented woman and we are honored that she chose to publish her first complete collection of short stories with us.
