Haven't shared here before and I always miss the Friday Self-promo because of timing, but I set a timer for this cause if not I would have missed it.
Title: Stones, Stars, and the Storms Between
Genre: Speculative Fantasy/ Short story fantasy collection. Here's the cover!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Practically all of the stories in the collection 5/7 garnered Honorable Mentions in the Writers of the Future quarterly contest and have since been edited and reworked.
If you love speculative fantasy/ fantasy told through the lens of average people dealing with the circumstances of a larger world then you would most likely enjoy this collection. Thank you for taking the time to check it out.
"These are human stories of revenge, duty, and kindness, about what we owe to each other, and how to live amongst other people, all taking place in fantastical settings....
Stones, Stars and the Storms Between offers thought-provoking stories of difficult, dramatic choices, all set in wildly different worlds. Fantasy readers looking for thoughtful, speculative stories will love this...
With so much fantasy writing becoming long, epic series, there was something fun and refreshing about reading the sort of short stories you might have found in a classic SciFi magazine."
