Star Trek, but X-rated
Minnesota writers of science fiction, fantasy, and horror come together in By Polaris Bright, the third annual MinnSpec anthology.
With By Polaris Bright, award winning small-press publisher Alban Lake Publishing and the 350+ member strong Minnesota Speculative Fiction Writers follow up their successful Northern Lights and Sky-Tinted Waters anthologies with twenty new tales certain to thrill, entertain, and illuminate. Within these pages the reader will find exciting fantasy, horror, and science fiction stories featuring:
Magic that comes in a jar.
A town where only the men are peaceful.
The secret lives of clouds.
A magic marker whose images become reality.
A smart phone with a personality.
…And fourteen more tales of adventure, enchantment, humor, terror, magic and science gone wrong, the unexplained, and the unanticipated by twenty author ranging from debut talents to established professionals in the field of speculative fiction.
My (reprinted) story, "Diplomatic Relations," involves the lengths a group of human diplomats must go to in order to establish peaceful relations with a newly contacted alien species. Think Star Trek, but X-rated. Definitely not for everyone, but just right for some people.
