A native of Southern California, USA Today bestselling author Christine Pope has been writing stories ever since she commandeered her family’s Smith-Corona typewriter back in grade school. Because she's a lover of many genres, her books include paranormal romance, fantasy romance, and paranormal cozy mystery. She blames this on being easily distracted by bright, shiny objects, which could also account for the size of her shoe collection. The Land of Enchantment cast its spell on her while she was researching her Djinn Wars series, and she now makes her home in New Mexico.

C. Gockel has been writing stories for her friends and family since the dark ages (i.e., before word processors existed.) A few years ago, she started posting those stories to the intertubes. She received emails, messages, and reviews from her fans telling her she should 'do this professionally.' She didn't; she is a coward and life as a digital designer, copywriter and coder is more dependable. But in the end, her husband's nagging wore her down: "You could be the next '50 Shades of Gray' and I could retire!" Unfortunately, the author writes science fiction and fantasy, and isn't particularly good at writing erotica. She is sad about this; she'd love for her husband to be able to retire and just work for her so she could nag him.
At the moment, Ms. Gockel is working on the next installment of the Archangel Project.
Ms. Gockel loves to hear from readers. She can be reached by email at: cgockel.publishing@gmail.com

Born in Kent, UK, Pippa's published books have featured in--- "Wait a second. Let's cut to the chase. I write kick-a$$ urban fantasy novels with conflicted characters, breathless action, and no-holds-barred dialogue. My books may not leave you feeling all fluffy and warm inside, but they will excite you. There will be plot-wists, there will be angst, probably a few dead bodies, and very likely your favorite character will turn out to be the bad guy. Don't say I didn't want you..."
Pippa's family moved to the South West of England where she grew up amongst the dramatic moorland and sweeping coastlands of Devon & Cornwall. With a family history brimming with intrigue, complete with Romani angst on one side and Jewish survivors on another, she has the ability to draw from a patchwork of ancestry and use it as the inspiration for her writing. Happily married and the Mother of two little girls, she resides on the Devon & Cornwall border.

DL Dunbar (writing fantasy as Debra Dunbar) grew up reading sci-fi and watching Logan’s Run, Battlestar Galactica, Alien, and Blade Runner. As a kid, she and her friends would act out Star Trek episodes in the basement where Captain Jennifer T Kirk saved the day (sorry William Shatner). She lives in a little house in the woods, and every now and then slaps on a Kansas vinyl LP, stares up at the night sky, and wonders what’s out there.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 October 2016A wonderful batch of stories! As the description says, there is a huge range of themes, but the quality is good throughout. A really good read. Highly recommended.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 November 2022If you like science fiction there should be plenty to interest and divert you among these well written tales of the genre.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 December 2017I enjoyed some of these stories a lot and others not so much. Short stories can be a great way to discover new authors/series to read (although somewhat frustrating when the story ends too soon!), and this book introduced several new characters that I look forward to reading more about in the future.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 August 2019Every stiry in this anthology was captivating and enthralling. I fully intend to read all the series that they belong too.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 October 2016Most of these stories are inventive and interesting with real human, or otherwise, characters. Some are prequels to longer novels and I have to say that one or two are tempting me to read more by the author. Stories are just long enough for bedtime reading and all stand alone. Definitely worth a look.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 March 2017good introduction to several books
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 July 2018Easy short stories to read when on holiday. Love the way kindle works.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 January 2018Always like these cheap collections as it provides a way to discover new authors for little outlay.
Usually each story is taster or prequel of an existing book.
Well worth reading, I enjoyed nearly all the books in this one, and have gone on to purchase further books by some of the authors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Una buena y variada antología

Varias son precuelas de sagas, pero casi todas son autocontenidas, así que no importa.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic collection
This was a wonderful collection of stories. All of them were well written and riveting stories. Some I liked more than others but overall they were all interesting. My favorites were the stories written by Lindsay Buroker, DaCosta, Faye, Gockel, Highley, Pope, and Wells. These stories touched me emotionally or kept me thinking about them even after I finished reading them. If you like well written and thoughtful science fkction you will like this book.
