One Bad Man

by Amy Laurens

She waits on a frosty street corner in old Russia, armed with the gadgets her sponsor gave her. Ivanov draws near-to her, to his death. But first, she needs to Vasiliy Ivanov, good man or bad?

For everyone who ever wondered about doing bad things for good reasons-and anyone who ever doubted what they believe. Historical Fantasy / 1900 words

About the author

Amy Laurens is an Australian author of fantasy fiction for both adults and young adults. She has lived in the same city all her life, which other people think is boring; she prefers to think of it as stable. At present, Amy lives with husband, brand new baby, and two yellow Labradors who think they are lapdogs. Surprisingly, the dogs are the most jealous of the time Amy spends on the laptop.

After a university education involving many twists and turns, Amy is a high school English teacher at an all-girls school by day. By night, she is a story-writing goddess; at least, that’s what she tells herself to get the words done, and since it seems to work, let’s not disillusion her. Her short fiction has appeared in magazines such as Allegory, Tower of Light Fantasy, and AlienSkin, and in Tyche Publishing's Ride The Moon anthology.
