Bøker av Martin Wilsey

This is a collection of my short science fiction and fantasy stories written from 2015 to 2021.I like writing short stories. It's good practice. I write a lot of them. Most are not worth publishing but are still worth doing.The ones that found their way into the world also ended up here, mainly because the readers that like my writing wanted copies for their collections.Several have been released stand-alone in Kindle or audio editions or anthologies, but never together in a single collection.In addition, you will also find a new, never-before-published short story titled: The Two Daves. This story, like many others contained within, are bonus stories involving beloved characters in my novels. My wife says they are like bonus features on DVDs. She's not wrong. (at least I am not the one to tell her that!) The cutting room floor has been harvested more than once.The stories from the cutting room floor sometimes seem to have abrupt endings or atypical plot structures. Just like the deleted scenes on a DVD, special features collection. Still fun, and they increase the fidelity of characters in my novels.Some of the stories are not associated with any other work. These will often be seeds that will grow into novels as time and longevity allow. I have tried to arrange them by topic, by world, or just by theme.I hope you enjoy them.

When you're desperate, does it matter where or how you get what you need?The Black Market is the Hourlings fifth anthology.The Hourlings are a group of authors located in Northern Virginia. The group was created in 2014 by Elizabeth Hayes to focus on the genres of Fantasy and Science Fiction. The author's meetings are held each week to discuss and innovate every aspect in the process of writing and publishing. Members of the Hourlings lead writing workshops, run their own small press, and are published both traditionally with the Big Five and with internationally read Independent publishing platforms.¿

However did it come to this?Cobb wanted a simple life. He wanted excellent steaks, great coffee, friends, and a quiet place to restore his favorite ship. Working for a recovery operation turned out to be the best place to find parts cheap.She had other plans for him.He wanted the staff of the deep space salvage ship, OXCART, to treat him just like another member of the crew. Not the man he really was. Light-years from Earth, he thought his secrets, his past, wouldn't matter. Especially not to her. When that past leads them to the SENTINEL, like it or not, the biggest single salvage of all time will change everything.Some secrets are so big, they can start a war. Or stop one. Or remain too big to explain when the timing could not be worse.And it was all the damn cat's fault.
