My new short-story collection, Rambunctious: Nine Tales of Determination will be out in spring 2020 in hardcover and other formats in spring 2020 from WordFire Press. The stories are some of my favorites, ranging from alternate history to science fiction to various kinds of fantasy, with women overcoming adversity to a Down syndrome girl overcoming adversity to guys overcoming adversity. But they are all filled with determination. Thus the title. All are reprints. I may, ahem, be promoting this a little more in the months ahead. I hope to launch the book at International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts (ICFA) in mid-March of 2020.
The stories included in the collection are listed below, with a few comments about them here and there.
