Galactic Stew Anthology

 

Food is an essential part of life—not just for energy and exotic flavors, but as a unifier during social events, a focal point for establishing culture, and shared experience to put people at ease. In GALACTIC STEW, readers will sit down at the communal table and sup upon stories centered on food. Whether it’s a tense treaty negotiation over a full course meal or a trap devised by the fae to chain you to their realm, these stories are certain to be delectable. Come and savor these delicacies…and hope the taste doesn’t mask a deadly poison!

  
 
Concrete Dreams: Witches, Warriors, & Wise Women

 

A thwarted female defense attorney releases the baying of the hounds under a full moon, signaling the death of an era—and the birth of a new one under the Old Gods.

Most funerals are celebrations for the living—unless the guests decide to tempt fate and the guest of honor.

A bicycle ride becomes a contest of egos, but the male pursuers aren’t the only ones hungry for the race to end.

These women are going to cut the world and let it bleed.

Neither Beginnings Nor Endings: The 2022 JordanCon Charity Anthology

 

Not all stories require a big fight at the end. Not all heroes have to punch their way to victory. In this collection, authors and artists from the JordanCon community present an alternative: stories where peace is given a chance, and where misdirection, quick thinking, and compassion are the keys to success. Where coming together is celebrated, and simple quiet doesn’t always have to be shattered.

So sheath your sword, holster your blaster, and open your heart. All proceeds from the sales of this work will go towards supporting the JordanCon 2023 Charity.
