Bogotá 39 New Voices from Latin America, 2018

‘This new generation of Latin American writers has exchanged history for memory, dictators for narcos and political engagement for gender and class consciousness.’ (El País)

With authors from fifteen different countries, this diverse collection of stories transports readers to a host of new worlds, and represents the very best writing coming out of Latin America today.

New FREE story on this day! This one a little darker, as befits the Day of End Times.

TOMBS WITHOUT BODIES (Halfway to Better 4)

Humanity has left the cities to live in the "greenbelt," but a young woman’s curiosity brings her back to the bot-patrolled streets where human beings used to live... until she gets caught.

Tombs Without Bodies is one of six solarpunk in the Halfway to Better collection (avail for preorder).

“It is difficult to read a collection of Scottish stories without becoming aware of the spoken voice and the power of first-person narration. It is absolutely crucial. It establishes the tone and direction of the story by forming an immediate and firm pact with the reader, appearing in every instance to take him or her into the writer’s confidence.”
