Is there a better phrase to start a story than "No Shit, There I Was..."? If you hear someone start with that phrase, you know it's going to be worth listening carefully. That's how all the craziest - and most interesting - stories start. And then we turned a bunch of speculative fiction authors loose on that phrase.
IAMOS, S.C.D. 8378 One choice was all it took to put two worlds in jeopardy—but that choice could be the thing that saves them both. By choosing to betray the geroi, Nadin saved the lives of her friends in the future, but it may have cost her own. Imprisoned and sentenced to a fate worse than death, her only hope of rescue may lie in trusting the one person her heart tells her to distrust most: Ceilos, her one-time partner and a traitor in his own right. But accepting Ceilos' help may be the only hope Nadin has of reuniting with Isaak… and saving both Iamos and Mars. Time is running out. Something is coming, something powerful enough to change the face of the entire solar system. If Nadin and Isaak can't figure out how to stop it, all of Iamos will be destroyed. Little do they know that's been the Liberator's plan all along…

In this exciting sequel to Coon Creek, Elias Bunt and his family are once again uprooted from their home - this time by the ravages of the Great Depression. The Bunts leave California after Elias decides to take his wife and family back to Dallas City, the small town in Illinois where they were born. But his youngest son is restless. Pushed by the boredom of the farm, and the grinding reality of hard times, young Rafe Bunt bids his family farewell and leaves Hancock County to make his own way through the grim and uncertain landscape of America in the 1930s.
The Mississippi Valley in western Illinois – thirty years after the Civil War. Japheth Bunt, a veteran of that war, is a man who lives to hunt and drink – at the expense of honest work. No one’s ideal of a husband or a father. Hannah Bunt, of pioneer stock, is the strong-willed woman who fell in love with him years before, and content with her hard, but simple life on Coon Creek. Elias Bunt – their son. An adventurous boy who watches in fear as his life and the lives of those he loves are threatened by a bitter family feud that rages in the woods and on the roads of Hancock County, Illinois. And, as the 19th century rolls into the 20th, a grown Elias is torn between his love for two women, and his misplaced loyalty to the notorious outlaw, Charlie Birger – as the Bunts are caught up in a struggle to survive the violence and bootleg whiskey war that sweeps across the Mississippi River Valley. A story filled with drama and turmoil, love and hate, heartbreak and humor – with a cast of unforgettable characters as vivid and colorfully drawn as the turbulent times that produced them.
