Street Magic

Street MagicBy |

I’m delighted to announce our newest anthology: Street Magic. ✨

Street Magic

As I said in the introduction to the book:

“From the back alleys of Tokyo to the Louisiana bayou, from brokers making deals with shadows to necromancers communing with a deceased rockstar, the stories in Street Magic offer diversity in people (both human and non), locations, and magic.

“In some stories the magic is out in the open, while in others it is a closely guarded secret. But whether they’re solving huge problems or dealing with intensely personal stakes, the characters in these pages are folks I wouldn’t be surprised to see at the local pub – though there are several I might prefer to watch from afar, just to be on the safe side.”

It’s time to turn the “man and his dog wandering through a dystopian world” trope on its head, and tell the stories about cats and their women.

Cat Ladies of the Apocalypse  wanders through broken worlds with twenty-one stories of survival, technology, magic, and sheer determination. But – like their cats – the authors frequently slipped out the upstairs window or knocked things off of countertops, and their stories are stronger for it.

Cat Ladies of the Apocalypse – it’s about time to take them seriously!

CATS!

CATS!By |

Featuring our very own Cat Ladies of the Apocalypse

While we’ve been alternately teased and called prescient, but when we initially brainstormed Cat Ladies of the Apocalypse in the fall of 2019, we truly had no idea we would be unleashing it in the middle of a pandemic.

Or that the world would be so in need of cats to help relieve their worries.

The CATS! StoryBundle is the written equivalent of cat videos. Only better, longer, and with more plot. You’ll find all kinds of cats – cats who save the world (using magical powers), cats who solve mysteries (simply by being observant), cats who facilitate romance (because that’s what cats do [mostly to keep us from bothering them too much]). Aloof cats, cuddly cats, mysterious cats.

If you need a cat, you’ll find one right here – including the many cats (and their badass women!) in our own Cat Ladies of the Apocalypse!

But don’t wait too long – like the cats we’ve written about, this bundle won’t stick around.
After April 16, the CATS! Storybundle will disappear!

A Year of the Monkeys

A Year of the MonkeysBy |
A Year of the Monkeys cover

There is a theory that says if you give typewriters to one hundred monkeys, and let them type for one hundred years, they will eventually reproduce the works of Shakespeare. We decided to put that theory to the test – with a few minor modifications.

We didn’t have one hundred monkeys – but we did have the membership of a League of Utah Writers chapter that calls itself “The Infinite Monkeys.” Most of them didn’t have typewriters, but worked on laptop or desktop computers, smartphones, and tablets. And instead of one hundred years to perfect their prose, we gave them one year to get from blank page to published anthology. So while you won’t find any reproductions of Shakespeare in A Year of the Monkeys, what you will find are thirty-five short stories that will make you laugh, make you cry, make you think, and sometimes make you glad you don’t live in the unsettling worlds of the imagination.

Mirages and Speculations

Mirages and SpeculationsBy |

Mirages and Speculations coverAs the moon’s shadow withdrew from the face of the sun after today’s eclipse, allowing the sun to once again shine fully, the spectacle of a unicorn observing a crashed flying saucer appeared in the desert. Was it a mirage? We could speculate… or we could invite you to see for yourself.

Mirages and Speculations, an anthology of science fiction and fantasy stories with desert settings is available in print and ebook from your favorite online retailers. Visit www.books2read.com/mirages
