Five original science fiction & fantasy stories.Short Bits is an eclectic mix of messy literary explosions, from high fantasy to space opera and back again, each one exploring a new world. They're written for the fun of it and published here because otherwise they'll sit in a drawer, and where's the fun in that?Short Bits Volume 3 includes five original stories, including 'Maelstrom', a short action-packed tale of revenge inspired by the Chinese fantasy genre, while 'Scholar' takes you back into the world of virtual gaming where brains are more important than brawn. In 'The Wind', you're transported to a bloody battlefield and a warrior's moment of defiance, while 'Crash' takes in you the other direction to when a pilot gives in to her demons. The collection ends with 'SEED', a short story set in the distant future, where one girl's desire to win leads her into new and dangerous territory.Every story is introduced by the author, taking you behind-the-scenes and providing insight into the inspiration and writing process behind each one.

In the dark, empty space between solar systems, something lies in wait.It''s pretty easy being a ship kid; clean out the cyclers, avoid your sister, don''t get sucked into space. The hardest bit about it is spending a couple of decades in stasis/sleep while your ship travels to the next solar system. Then rinse and repeat all the way back to a home you''ve never seen.Except I just got kicked out of stasis early, like years early. And I''m alone.All. Alone.Except for the fug.Cold Between Stars is the first book in The Echo trilogy, an epic sci-fi series. With aliens, spaceships, big arse mechs and an LGBTQI+ hero having a REALLY bad day, it''s perfect for fans of The Expanse, Murderbot and Alien. 

On a toxic planet, humans live in floating cities, relying on the strength and courage of the Riders for survival.Subria is going to be one of the few, a Rider dedicated to scouting the food and resources her people need to survive, but first she has to pass the entrance exam. Of course, it''s more than just an exam, it''s a chance to attain the one thing that a Rider needs above all others; a steed. The bond between these genetically engineered companions and their Riders is legendary, and Subria wants it almost as much as she wants to follow in her father''s footsteps as a Rider. Legends might be all she ever gets to know it as though, because as soon as the test starts, something goes terribly, terribly wrong.Now, Subria''s no longer fighting for a dream, she''s in a battle for survival.
