I have a short story in a new anthology that’s available today!

The anthology is Tales From an Alien Campfire. It’s edited by Phyllis Irene Radford.

The idea for the anthology was developed while I was attending Campcon — a kind of camping/writer’s retreat. Since we were out in the wilderness, we decided to do a collection of short stories that were science fiction, but out in the woods, not urban.

Here’s the blurb:

People have loved to go camping in the great outdoors ever since our ancestors escaped the great outdoors to discover the joys of indoor living.

Here, twelve veterans of the camping experience, both seasoned and new authors, present tales born in the woods, home grown around the campfire in the oldest of storytelling tradition.

Join in as they tell their tales, some serious and some silly. Stories borne of time spent with an audacious Pug mascot, good food, decent wine, and some spooky howls deep in the woods. You will find aliens: They want more than our women–they want that perfect vacation. Experience an attempt to reclaim a devastated Earth by camping out and exploring. Is it really a Sasquatch snitching the French toast? All of this and more are tales told around an Alien campfire.

My short story is called, “Out of the Woods.” It’s a post-apocalyptic pulse pounder. Because that’s the way I roll. It’s a Leah Cutter story. (Which, according to Kevin J Anderson, means it’s about two middle-class white girls from suburbia. Right? That’s all I write, doncha know.)

Tales From an Alien Campfire is available from your favorite retailers.
