Blame the Bearer
Vane has never turned away from an opportunity to seize power. He's spent his life manipulating others for his own gain. So when an ancient castle presents him with a magic ring and a legendary promise, he knows exactly what to do. Use the ring, find the Heir...and betray them at the first opportunity. Lidya is the middle child, neither lovely as her sister not physically able as her brother. She's lived in their shadows all her life and been happy enough there. But when a man called Vane shows up with a magic ring and an insane tale, Lidya's life changes. Before anyone can stop it, she's trapped in a contest that will drag them all on a quest, put one of them on an ancient throne, and could easily cost all of them their lives.
A Little Short for an Alien
Six inter-galactic short stories from author, Frances Pauli. From The Fobidden Zone to the Alien-Human relations department, these short, alien-infested romps explore encounters with a diversity of imagined species, scenarios, and space disasters. Join Dylan Lowwater, lackluster employee at Space Station H22-J231, Jo Lorey, out of place musician desperate to communicate with a threatened race, and Lieutenant Commander Roe, just plain desperate, as they struggle against out-of-this-world obstacles. In a universe overflowing with tentacles and glow gin, sometimes adventure is easier to find than a date.
Space Slugs
When Xenobiologist, Dr. Murray, receives yet another phony wedding invitation from her galaxy hopping sister, she does what any good sibling would do. She drops her research and hops the first flight to some obscure planet at the edge of the civilized universe. But Zora's weddings never manage to go off as planned, and before the cake is served, Murray finds herself imprisoned with the unapologetic bride. With the assistance of a mysterious android and the universe's last living space slug, the two find themselves on the run in a stolen space ship with half the galaxy in hot pursuit. Thanks to Zora, it's the least desirable half. Maybe Murray will get lucky, and the crash landing will kill her.
Kundalis
No one ever said anchoring a dragon would be easy, but Karin is getting used to having Blue connected to her body and mind. She's also getting used to leading the gang of other dragon anchors scattered around central Washington. She's even getting used to life without Doc, her would-be boyfriend-if he hadn't taken off without any warning. But Karin has bigger problems than a wayward boyfriend. Her gang is getting restless and a dragon from Seattle wants them all to join his union. The police are sniffing around with uncomfortable questions about a missing kid from the East Coast, last seen levitating in New Jersey. A reporter from a paranormal newspaper is stalking her with more uncomfortable questions, and someone is impersonating Karin in online forums to draw more dragons to Washington. As if she didn't have enough trouble in the real world, she's also having nightmares about a menacing silver creature that eats dragons. To face the challenges that keep coming down her driveway, Karin must learn to embrace the power in her dragon and within herself.
New Canterbury Affair
Lierra drags her barely tolerable fianc_ to New Canterbury, a planet where history is almost recreated for the nostalgic, human colonists. While preparing for their wedding, however, she encounters Forrest Ecks, her hero and one of the premier artists of the time. Despite his fame, Forrest Ecks has little in the way of promise. Injured in the war, his painting career has withered along with his damaged hand. When the Lady Darvid shows him an E-sel full of amateurish, but promising sketches, Forrest takes on the task of teaching the woman. But Lierra herself proves far more interesting than her paintings. Lierra�s engagement hovers ever closer, but more than her art blooms during her lessons with Forrest. With the little time they have, can they teach each other that giving up is never the best option?
Well... It's Your Cow
In the throes of a convention full of geeks, Frog Jones told a story. That story is found in this book's foreword, but the key line from the story became the title of this anthology. The authors seized upon that line, much like an out-of-control bovine seizing its own halter, and stampeded into the volume you see before you. This is not just a comedy anthology. Nor is it horror, or romance, or literary, or…well, any one thing. Rather, it is all those things. Each story starts exactly in the same place. But each author immediately leaps from there into their own world. This anthology celebrates the creativity of these authors, because it does not shackle them to a theme. The starting line is the same—the finish line is on other planets, in other times, and in alternate realities. You’re not going to feel cohesiveness reading this thing. It’s not going to be several stories hitting the same note. But you are going to experience a wider panoply of stories than you would in other anthologies. And as to what you make of them, or what stories they may inspire in you? Well…that’s your cow.
Shark Week
The ocean is vast and mostly uncharted. In these nineteen stories, authors imagined some of what might be happening under the surface of the waves. Or in some cases, on dry land when water-dwelling creatures pull themselves out of the ocean into a world of furry and feathered animals that they struggle to relate to. Dance in a cuttlefish rave. Join a shark as she attempts to build an airship. Attend an underwater ball thrown by crab-aliens. Watch the last Asian dragon perform in a whale and dolphin circus. Listen to a ballad sung by lobsters and whelks. Hunt for a killer shark with two waring ocean races under a tense truce. Ride squid with the Hell’s Anglerfish seal gang. But above all, don’t forget to bring a wet suit! Featuring stories by Louis Evans, Allison Thai, Koji A. Dae, Gustavo Bondoni, Nenekiri Bookwyrm, Kary M. Jomb, Huskyteer, Kittara Foxworthy, Daniel Lowd, K.C. Shaw, Willow Croft, Mary E. Lowd, James L. Steele, Su Haddrell, Daniel R. Robichaud, Frances Pauli, Mark Slauter, Jude-Marie Green, and S. Park.

Kundalis
Karin knows she's gone completely insane-nuts-absolutely batshit crazy, when she spots an insidious blue dragon twining through the trees at a rest stop in the Cascade Mountains. Despite agreeing to join her roommate at a psychic fair, she's never believed in anything metaphysical. She's pretty sure the Reiki treatment she succumbed to has brought on a frighteningly realistic hallucination-until they roll their mini-van in the middle of I-90, and she is rescued from the vehicle by the same monstrous blue figment of her imagination. She awakens to find that she's been delivered to a cabin high in the mountains instead of to a proper hospital. The "doctor" looking out for her is more of a new-ager than a physician, and the people who own the house, including the urban highlander version of Fabio, don't have any intention of letting her leave. Faced with the unimaginable, and strapped to an all-too-real dragon, Karin must decide how to tame the beast or risk losing herself to it forever.
