Talking to my two-year-old is like an endless game of Twenty Questions where the answer keeps changing.

We’ve received our first shipment from the Wespirtech Universe to our cargo bay!

Lunar Cavity is a story about bat-like aliens whose planet is in catastrophic danger.  Continue reading “Our first shipment!”

In Wesley-speak, “Green boon war” translates to either “I want the green balloon” or “There’s a green fork, dinosaur.”

Our stories today take us back to the universe of Wespirtech, a place that we hope you’ll want to visit again in the future.  For although this is the last day of our launch event, Deep Sky Anchor has settled into a stable orbit, and rest assured, we expect more shipments of fiction soon.

When a reader opens a book and starts reading, they’re hoping to get lost in the story, dive in so deep that the words stop being words and start being an entirely new world surrounding them, drawing them in.  Of course, you can always close the book and come back home.  Sure, it may be 3am, and you’ll be really tired the next day.  Still, the real world is waiting for you outside of the story.

There’s a thin line between science-fiction and simply fiction, and that line moves every time we develop new technologies.  Technologies that seemed futuristic fifty years ago — or sometimes ten years ago — are commonplace today.  The inclusion of a super-powerful, pocket computer with GPS and video communication no longer means a story is science-fiction; it just means the character has a phone. Continue reading “The Thin, Moving Line of Technology”

The start of a new year is often a time for reflecting on the past, thinking over everything that happened in the previous year.

The first story in our next anthology — The Opposite of Memory — asks whether it’s really necessary to reflect on the past.  Why not simply forge ahead?  Leave the past behind.  Maybe even forget it entirely…  Forget Me Not was Mary E. Lowd’s first published story, and we’re proud to be able to present it for you here. Continue reading “Happy New Year!”
