To Unimagined Shores is a collection of short stories written by Sherry D. Ramsey. They include science fiction and fantasy stories, as well as a collection of 'related' stories.

The lively stories in this collection are--by turns--unique, funny, endlessly interesting and totally entertaining. Sherry Ramsey has obviously been working her tail off writing and getting her stories published for the last decade or so. These stories (all but one) were first published in an impressive variety of magazines, journals and anthologies. Now that she's collected them here, you can enjoy hours upon hours of her delightful imagination and excellent writing. Recommended!
Sherry D. Ramsey's short stories are filled with vibrant characters, good writing, and thrum with humanity, even when there aren't many actual humans in the story. Fans of speculative fiction should definitely check out To Unimagined Shores.

In fact, I was supposed to be finishing a library book whose lending period was running out, but I kept putting it on hold to return to these stories! I ended up renewing the library book so that I can finish it now that I have finished reading To Unimagined Shores. Sci-fi and fantas...more
