Five original science fiction & fantasy stories. Short Bits is an eclectic mix of messy literary explosions, from high fantasy to space opera and back again, each one exploring a new world. They're written for the fun of it and published here because otherwise they'll sit in a drawer, and where's the fun in that? Short Bits Volume 4 includes five original stories, including several science fiction tales. We open up with Transmission, a space opera with a futuristic samurai fighting to save her Lady, and conclude with Dread Space, a ghost story about a mysterious abandoned spaceship. In the middle is Felis Fetura, the fourth instalment in the I Am Maggie series, as well as Letters I'll Never Send, a near-future urban fantasy, and the funny-yet-gross Corpses & Demons Horses, where two shapeshifters discuss what to do with a woman's corpse. Every story is introduced by the author, taking you behind-the-scenes and providing insight into the inspiration and writing process behind each one.
Autorenporträt
Physics makes Belinda's brain hurt, while quadratics cause her eyes to cross and any mention of probability equations will have her running for the door. Nonetheless, she loves watching documentaries about the natural world, biology, space, history and technology.She's also a sucker for a fast horse, a faster computer and superhero movies. When she's not doing the horse, computer or superhero thing, Belinda writes sci-fi and fantasy for readers who like their fiction action-packed, with diverse characters, butt-kicking heroines and complex worlds. As a certified crazy horse person, when she's not wrangling six-legged dynamos on the page, she's wrangling four-legged powder-kegs in the paddock. Belinda brings that same certified craziness to her writing with the kind of unexpected twists that'll keep you guessing.
