Shadows At Dawn Reprint Goes Live

Every world starts with a simple idea.

The Tales Of The Frontier universe began in 2016 with a short story called Shadows At Dawn about two cowboys roaming a dark fantasy landscape.

The publisher who took a chance on this short story was Aurelia Leo and I wanted to thank them again for choosing to republish the story in a new anthology.

Uchronia: An Anthology Of Alternate Histories & Alternative Worlds is a collection of weird and wonderful stories from writers who think differently and have the balls to put themselves out there (my blurb)

The official blurb is:

Uchronia: An Anthology of Alternate Histories & Alternate Worlds features twenty cosmic, uncanny, and macabre fantasy and science fiction stories.

A marine navigates close quarters in his wheelchair and the threat of joblessness due to mechanical men. Gremlins battle a bounty huntress in the Weird Wild West. When the Soviet Union invades Mexico, a U.S.-Mexico war veteran rallies Samalayuca refinery workers to fight back. Onboard the Current of Eagles, a disabled Native-American pilot confronts prejudice and radio warfare. You are a lone radio jockey after the apocalypse.

Curated by award-winning editor Zelda Knight, this collection of reprints will transport readers to diverse retrofutures and realms beyond their imagination.

The Starship Hanoi by Lawrence R. Dagstine [sci-fi]

The Starship Hanoi by Lawrence R. Dagstine The wet season was supposed to be approaching, and the city was hot and humid and absolutely stifling. At times, we found ourselves in the path of the solar flares. In addition to that, three days a week the androids cut the power, plunging Hanoi into a soporific, heat-soaked darkness. Even the ancient paddle fans stopped turning. All energy remained in…
