I’m excited to announce that we have pulled together eleven classic stories from the BEYOND THE STARS series and added four new ones to create this tremendous new anthology–BEST OF BEYOND THE STARS! It’s now available at the debut price of only $2.99 for a limited time.
The most recent volume features authors David Adams, Michael Anderle, S.M. Blooding, David Bruns, Ann Christy, Michael Ezell, G. S. Jennsen, Joseph Robert Lewis, Samuel Peralta, Susan Kaye Quinn, Jeff Seymour, Christopher J. Valin, Nick Webb, Jennifer Foehner Wells, and me! As the Series Editor, I made the selections, and the editing was done by the excellent Ellen Campbell. We have a glorious cover illustration created by multiple Hugo Award winner Julie Dillon.
