My true love got us trapped here with my own time machine.
Not really her fault - or I hoped, anyway.
You see, she's brilliant, powerful - and a shapeshifting cat who rules Ancient Egypt.
That last part doesn't bother me, as long as she's human at least part of the time. Otherwise, royal consorts have some benefits, too.
She brought me here with my own machine. And, then it disappeared. Stolen. And, now we're marooned. But, that doesn't matter....

She could still remember the look on his face when they closed the Riot Wall for the final time.
She could barely find him at first beyond the chain-link fence a few hundred yards away. If not for that red-plaid shirt he always wore when he visited her. Standing in the closed "visitor" queue on his side of that wall.
After this day, there would be no more visits. Because this wall was the long-overdue solution to the long-running riots.
Riots meant...

I'd been left out here, alone. By an oil-burning lamp. In the cold, uncaring desert.
It was my only comfort until dawn.
Just dawn started bringing the earliest glimmer of what I could see with my human eyes, I woke to some snuffling sound near my head.
Opening my eyes, not relishing the hot day coming, I saw the nose of an animal near my face.
"Rise, little one."
I sat up. And, saw eye-to-eye with a female coyote.
She was not young. Scars crisscrossed...

"John, I just met a ghost who's dying."I raised one eyebrow, waiting for the punchline from my favorite time-bender."No, it's not what you think. I haven't gone off the deep end. The government made him into something they call a ghost.""Figure if the government's involved, then it's going to be screwed up... But a ghost - dying?""Running out of juice, actually. Kept alive on some sort of weird life support that he won't fix to save himself.""Suicidal?""No,...

Four books collected into this Anthology featuring:

Hermione:
When a goddess is almost killed by bleeding out - it's serious.
Good thing they got to me in time, while I was still a cat.
Now my shape-shifting was on hold until I healed.
For the last few centuries or so, I'd been happy as a library cat. But, then I got bored, and started helping out with simple missions.
Because of that ambush, I was stuck in a human-shape. At least, I wasn't dead.
But,...

It was either leave these four trapped in ancient times, or risk their lives to save our world in the present.
Helluva choice.
It they died, we'd all be dead soon after.
If we tried anything without them, we'd die just a little later - but still dead.
Because evil doesn't take opposition lightly - unless it's overwhelming. And, even then, they still put up a good fight.
So, fight and live, or fight and die.
Our secret weapon was among those...
