Tomorrow by Merilyn Ruth Liddell

Tomorrow by Merilyn Ruth Liddell

A misguided experiment. A devastated world. A chance for rebirth.

In a world decimated by a killer virus, an isolated mountain community is left more dysfunctional than dystopian.

Small town. Big secrets.

It’s a place where the lives of three strangers unexpectedly intertwine…

…Martha, a reclusive doctor seeking a solution to the mystery of the pandemic,

…Jake, a cab driver seeking his birth mother,

…Sophie, a young, desperate pregnant woman seeking safe haven from abuse.

Brought together by violence, these unlikely friends forge an alliance that may help reshape the world.

Endless Hunger by Kevin Weir

The new world is full of wireless technologies, medical marvels, and advanced security.

It’s 2133, and Earth has rebuilt after a global catastrophe.

This tends to get him in trouble, especially when the rest of the world doesn’t believe they exist.

Editors J.R. Campbell and Shannon Allen have brought together a new collection of Arthurian tales in By the Light of Camelot.

The anthology is recently released. We took a moment to get the thoughts of what went into making the anthology with the editors J.R. Campbell and Shannon Allen.
