Chanterelles have long been considered a food of kings and noblemen. An indulgence fallen to by the rulers and instigators of empires. Ironically, they have also been a food of survival for explorers, foraging as they blazed trails through the forests of the New World.

Alas, empires come and go. Chanterelles are timeless.

The Chanterelle Chronicles

define the principle cast of characters whose stories evolve, at times in synchrony, at others in hysteresis with the entities they confront.

Characters who are not always what they seem to be. Ones that are both physical and figurative in nature. Interacting with others inside and outside their own environment. Interactions that bring the reality of the universe around them to life.

Though each short story resides in its own distinct realm of space and time, they are all linked to the reality of the author's presence. He is both narrator and actor. At times, he is the observer of the events that have unfolded before him. At others, he views events through the prism of a distant past.

Though this is the third edition of the Chronicles' myth, it should actually be the fourth. The original transcript lost in the Realm of Time: a past once silenced, and now rekindled.
