More of a collection of stories than an anthology, these nine stories are all written by Tyler Chin-Tanner, who worked with a different artist or art team for each one. All stories of modern romance that examine the various challenges and pitfalls that most all relationships encounter at one point of another. While true love may be the ultimate goal, it can be a windy path that gets us there.

“Status Update” brings together two people who met online, only to discover they’re a better digital match than they are in real life.

In “Freshly Planted Seeds” Jill travels to Peru help a small village as well as her resumé. But will the love she finds there prove to be more of a distraction than a help?

In “Perfectly Distilled” and a bar room love triangle proves that everyone’s playing games, some are just better at it.

A techy and a hipster try to find common ground in a world that sees them as polar opposites in “Cachet-22”

In “Thaw” soldiers return home from war to find that pacts made on the battlefield don’t hold up when applied to finding love.

Plus scuba diving, sports rivalries and naughty politicians!
