Things With Feathers/Hope Out Today (Sort Of)

That’s out on Kindle with paper to come, with supply chain problems, perhaps a bit later than first . . . um . . . hoped. But for the “sort of,” last minute corrections may slightly delay even the Kindle version, a new file having been sent, but it’s up to Amazon to have it ready for sending to buyers. This is the anthology THINGS WITH FEATHERS: STORIES OF HOPE from Third Flatiron Publishing. Or, as Amazon blurbs it:

Is there hope for us all?

Emily Dickinson’s poem, “Hope,” described it as “a thing with feathers.” Third Flatiron Anthologies’ latest collection of short science fiction, fantasy, and horror stories touches on the theme of hope, whether it’s about taking flight filled with optimism for the future, venturing outside one’s comfort zone, taking outsize risks in order to succeed, or finding it dashed on the rocks. Twenty-four authors give their entertaining takes on the subject, including Nemma Wollenfang, Emily Dauvin, Paula Hammond, Barton Paul Levenson, Sharon Diane King, Cayce Osborne, P.A. Cornell, Arthur Carey, David Cleden, F. T. Berner, Raluca Balasa, Melissa Mead, Nicholas Stillman, Shannon Brady, Bonnie McCune, Brian Rappatta, Bruce Arthurs, Alicia Cay, Danielle Mullen, E. J. Delaney, Wulf Moon, Art Lasky, James Dorr, and Gerri Leen. Edited by Juliana Rew.

My story therein is one about deadly tsunamis and best laid plans, “The Wise Sister” (see September 20, et al.), and which one will succeed — or fail. The hope, of course, is for survival, but will either sister’s plans come out a winner?
