The Back Forty

In the 1860s, the Homestead Acts granted farmers a quarter section; a section was nominally 1 square mile containing 640 acres, a quarter section was 160 acres, and the quarter section was itself subdivided into four quarter-quarter sections of 40 acres each: two front forty and two back forty. It now refers to the most remote part of a farm, or even the most remote or inaccessible part of any place.  
In The Back Forty, you will find stories that explore new, lawless frontiers, backwater towns, self-appointed sheriffs, lonesome explorers, bounty hunters, and other Wild West in Outer Space kinds of themes.

Grandpa's Deep-Space Diner

My grandpa had a drive-in diner in Rupert, Idaho in the 60s called Chuck's In-and-Out. It was well known and all the kids went there. My aunt served the burgers (sans roller-skates—Grandma put a stop to that notion! ) and Grandma made the best french fry sauce in the galaxy. Grandpa taught me that food, from the production to the preparation to the partaking, could be a simple personal pleasure or a means of bringing groups together in a shared meal. From growing produce in a magical garden, to serving up an exotic burger in an interstellar mall, join us in the delightful, delectable, and sometimes dismal flavors of these speculative fiction food stories!

Pioneers & Pathfinders

Whether exploring new vistas or encountering ancient ones, the call of unknown places and unseen sights is strong in many of us. Our planet has so many wild places—jungles, deserts, mountains, and more, and the cultures that go with them—the type of "wild" that you might have found on the steppes of Mongolia, the dusty heat of India, the blowing sands of the Sahara. Imagine all that wild, difficult nature wrapped up in speculative fiction. Also embracing the pioneering spirit, we find generational ships, the wild west of a post-apocalypse, or the attempt to conquer the sky. Join us on this journey through the imagination as we venture out to forge new paths.

Unearthly Sleuths

So what is detective fiction? Where does the idea of solving mysteries come from? The biblical cross-examination of the two elderly lechers by Daniel to save the life of an innocent; Oedipus's discovery of the truth about origins by questioning witnesses; Scheherazade's story of a dead young woman hidden in a chest and a vizier ordered to find the murderer within three days or forfeit his life; Yuan and Ming dynasty tales of local magistrates who are involved with many cases simultaneously; Edgar Allan Poe's C. August Dupine who solves the mystery of the death of two women living in the Rue Morgue, a fictional street in Paris. Detective fiction has been around for ages, and has taken many forms, all in the pursuit of solving a puzzle, answering a question that has eluded others. In this anthology, more than a dozen creative authors have sent their mystery-solving sleuths to other worlds, both fantastical and futuristic. Join us in solving our other-worldy puzzles!

Heaven's Edge Trilogy

Qeya has spent her life aboard a ship adrift on heaven's edge. Being Royal means more than being groomed to rule her home planet. Though young, she can wield a scythe blade and suck the life out of her enemy, literally. That her whole life has been planned out for her, including whom she will marry, has never bothered her...until her ship is attacked.
Forced to lead before she is ready, Qeya must find a way to put aside ancient prejudices so they can all survive. Old enemies must form new alliances if they are to last the night. For no one knows the secrets of the new world and only a few can survive the living nightmares at heavens edge.
 
Ohre suppressed his wild nature while living on board Datura 3. Plucked from the bottom of the ocean as a boy, he struggled to learn the ways of the land dwellers. He never asked to live with the heaven-sailing miners. But when his adopted clan’s ship is attacked, he must give into the instincts he long fought against.
After fighting to keep Qeya and the Royal children, alive, he finds himself abandoned once more.
 
And Tamn, Qeya's betrothed. Crashed on the planet below, plagued by monsters both external and internal, Tamn begins to enjoy the flowing rage and chole dust alike.

Brother
of the Chief

In the hot and dry Utah territory in 1857, Young Nick Wilson is bored with his lonesome chores of weeding the garden and tending sheep, while his older brother is permitted to hire out to the neighbors and cut cedar posts beside their pa.
Pa tells Nick that he must show some responsibility with his own chores before he asks to work for someone else. In his boredom, Nick has forgotten to fasten the gate to the sheep pen—again.
When some members of the Shoshone tribe pass by on their way to a nearby rendezvous to trade furs, they cross paths with Nick, and are delighted to discover the boy speaks their language. They allow Nick to ride one of their ponies, and offer to give him the pony if he will go home with them.
While Nick enjoys his pony ride, the neglected sheep get into the family vegetable garden, destroying the family's winter food stores. Nick's pa tells him he'll never amount to anything and sends him to bed without supper.
Filled with remorse and regret, Nick decides to spare his pa the burden and agrees to go with the Shoshone.
