Endlessly
by C.V. Hunt
When Ashley walks into a shop run by the vampire, Verloren, they both get the surprise of their lives. Ash is about to learn that she’s not just another pretty young woman, while Verloren is astonished to find himself falling in love. But how can a vampire love a human? And what if the human isn’t as human as she seems? When Ash’s true nature reveals itself, the entire power structure of the world’s outsiders teeters on the brink of destruction. Verloren and Ash become more and more terrified as they grope their way toward the ultimate truth: that they hold the key to something much larger than their own survival.
Alien Cradle
by Jeff Inlo
Rath Scampion, outer rim scout, explores the barren landscapes of Fenrir just before a Regency Scientific Council plants the seed of a genetically created ‘alien’. Captured trying to steal precious gems from the planet, Rath finds himself entangled in a massive deception. Geneticists created the Fenrites in cloning labs, infusing knowledge of basic agriculture through brain wave technology. As the alien colony takes hold on the once barren planet, researchers discover the Fenrites advancing at an alarming pace, passing quickly through complex stages of industrial and technological growth. As the experiment spirals out of control, Rath must flee Regency controlled space, ending up in the midst of marauders and outcasts. He is caught with no safe haven as the Fenrite disaster spurs on political and military chaos throughout the Regency colonized worlds.

Skiathea
by John P Lennon
Skiathea is psychological/supernatural story set in a seaside village in Cornwall, England. It is based on a Cornish folk tale, called The Mermaid of Zennor. The original tale is of a fisherman who falls in love with a mermaid. Neither lover can live for long in the world of the other. The man dies in the end, although it is a beautiful tale, and often retold.
There is a deeper background to mermaid stories. Robert Graves claims in The White Goddess that the tales are folk-memories of the cult of the sea goddess, Aphrodite. Amongst Aphrodites’ many other names is Venus – she who is both the evening star and the dark goddess of the sea.
Skiathea is about brief love, but also the transformation of the mundane into the mythical. Compress a love story into a few days, and a woman becomes a siren and the siren is secretly a goddess. The man is a lost fisherman, a king on a quest, a mariner doomed to die. To join with the girl he encounters by the sea is impossible; he cannot follow her to her home, but he cannot leave her on the beach either. The call of the Siren is still destructive to all men.
The story follows that of the Mermaid of Zennor, but loosely, for it is a contemporary tale. The content is from both the narrator’s youth and from adulthood; there are early memories of sun and sand and swimming trunks, and also of later encounters with the Siren in her ever-changing forms.
In Skiathea the Siren has become the Shadow Girl, she who is and is not, of the sea – and she who is, and is not, a goddess. The Siren will not speak her name, not openly, for she has many. He can name her if he wishes – after which he must follow her into the sea, as all men do, one day.
The Siren is a charming conversationalist and above all else a storyteller. She will not talk of her past or future, save in stories, for neither truly exist. She has sad eyes.
The Siren has beautiful hair, and she likes to swim alone.

Resurrection
by Sara Reinke
Jay Frances can resurrect the dead. One touch is all it takes to restore life to even long-since cold flesh. Jay has always considered this ability more of a curse than a gift — that is, until the night he finds JoBeth Montgomery brutally murdered in a darkened stairwell and raises her.
Jo is the first he is able to restore fully, body, mind and soul. She is also bright, beautiful and before long, Jay finds that Jo fills the void that has been in his heart since the death of his wife. As a mutual attraction grows into something far deeper and more tender between them, so, too, does someone else’s interest in them. Jo had not been the victim of a random act of violence. Her assailant had been someone far more methodical, a sadistic serial killer the police call the Watcher.
