I’ve had fun with my anthologies. The 1st was WWI, a commercial topic to get things going. The 2nd is the Scientific Rev, which isn’t commercial. Hitting ignored eras is the real point of these, so we’ll see how it goes. If it makes its money back, we’ll go ancient with the 3rd.

What an honor to have my short story, “For the Pursuit of the Better,” featured here! Thank you @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social! And thanks to @heartlines-spec.com for believing in my story. ❤️
