Free Fiction–Movers, Inc.

Nov 17, 2015Leah Cutter1 CommentFree Fiction, RamblingsBaker's Dozen Redux, fiction river, free fiction, Movers Inc, The Glass Girl

Fiction River:Superpowers

The story this week was originally written for a Fiction River anthology. The spec for the anthology involved teens discovering their superpowers.

I wrote one story (The Glass Girl) but I was afraid it was just too weird. So I wrote a second story, this one, Mover’s Inc.…

Free Fiction Tuesday-Dancing with Tong Yi

Nov 10, 2015Leah Cutter4 CommentsFree Fictionfree fiction, The Immortals' War

SweetShopCover_600x900

I still can’t believe how lucky I’ve been to be part of the Uncollected Anthology.

We’re a collection of urban fantasy writers, and we come out with new short stories four times a year (roughly quarterly), each of us writing to the same theme.…

Free fiction–Community Service

Oct 27, 2015Leah Cutter1 CommentFree Fiction, RamblingsBaker's Dozen Redux, Community Service, free fiction, Hard SF

Community Service, like many of the other stories I’m publishing during this Baker’s Dozen Redux challenge, have received some very positive rejections. (This one almost sold but I was stupid and didn’t take the offer when I should have.)

This short story isn’t really like any of my novels, however.…

Free Fiction–Let’s Make a Deal!

LMAD_Cover2_600x900

There are times when I write silly.

The short story this week is indicative of that. It isn’t laugh-out-loud funny. It’s more of a snicker.

Then again, this story takes place in kind of a silly place, at the First Contact Café.…

Free fiction — The Healer’s Daughter

Oct 6, 2015Leah CutterFree FictionA Sword's Poem, Baker's Dozen Redux, free fiction, The Healer's Daughter

A Sword's Poem

While I was writing the novel A Sword’s Poem I came to realize that there was a huge, long backstory for one of the main characters, namely, the priestess Ayumi.

While I was at the fantasy workshop earlier this year, I decided to write that story.…

Free Fiction – Lizard Horses

Sep 29, 2015Leah Cutter8 CommentsFree Fiction, Ramblingsfree fiction, Lizard Horses, Of Myst and Folly, two middle class white girls from suburbia

One day this spring, while at a workshop, Kevin J Anderson said, “You always know what you’re getting with a Leah Cutter story. Two middle-class white girls from suburbia.”

(In case any of you are wondering, yes, he was being 100% sarcastic.)…

Free fiction Tuesday…

Sep 22, 2015Leah CutterFree Fiction, RamblingsBaker's Dozen Redux, free fiction, Shadows' Door, The Guardian Hound, The Shadow Wars

Yes, it’s Tuesday again. Got another story for you.

This story is historic fiction. It’s one of The Shadow Wars stories, the first one in The Guardian Hound.

PM_Cover_Final_600x900I started my career writing historic fantasy. I’d always been fascinated with history, as well as with China.…

Free fiction – Out of the Woods

Sep 15, 2015Leah Cutter2 CommentsFree FictionBaker's Dozen Redux, free fiction, Out of the Woods, Tales From an Alien Campground

Continuing on this Baker’s Dozen Redux, I have a new story to offer.

Out of the Woods is a post-apocalyptic story. However, it’s more of a thriller than anything else.

Going back to one of my original premise, and the genesis of the Baker’s Dozen Redux–I rarely write stories that feel similar.…

Evolution and Free Fiction

Sep 8, 2015Leah CutterFree FictionBaker's Dozen Redux, Covers, free fiction, The Third Raven

Believe it or not, I didn’t come into the indie publishing with all the skills I needed.

For example, cover design. I am looking at covers all the time, watching trends and designs.

Every time I go into a bookstore, I look at covers.…
