And with its powerful depiction of a better society "StarChild" could even be looked upon as a mistress blueprint for a much better society than that we know today, hope for a brighter future known as the "New Matriarchate"-the Tammyite Matriarchy. Depicted in a more intelligent, realistic, sophisticated, and sensitive manner than normally experienced in works of fiction involving matriarchal civilizations it is a time in which "history" has been replaced by "herstory," delving as well into our past as well as the future.

The inspiration for the urban fantasy series, Starchild’s Fire, we can find many of the characters featured in these works exploring this town and universe in the novels. Volume one of the slice of life series, this is a story collection about the neighborhood shapeshifter, Val, and their adventures in a totally normal, in no way strange, town. A place full of smiling faces, gray skies, and an elder god slumbering in the candy shop. What many would just call a typical dot on the map, if it could have anyone survive the trip to the cartographer to have one made. While strangers are as rare as a sunny day, both are always welcome. The oldest and friendliest citizen, Val hardly stands out from the humans here despite being born of a dying star. Such events leading to their creation giving them the title of starchild, and the ability to be whatever they can imagine; their presence found to be calming by most that they interact with. Usually with two eyes, one nose, and smiling lips, they often wander the town going from odd job to odd job, or trying to spot a new adventure with some mortal, or monster they meet in the forest or ocean surrounding the township. With the water swarming with monsters from the depths of nightmares and the trees teeming with creatures hungering for human flesh, they are sure to find company with the humans that hide from, and with, the immortal beasts that surround their home. They may be eternal, but there is no time to be lonely for this starchild, plenty to do while enjoying all that comes with living in a small town. What else is there to be done when all towns are like this; right?
