Blood and Devotion: Tales of Epic Fantasy
The clash of steel. The scent of blood. The heat of fire from heaven. The cries of the dying and of the dead. Brave warriors and devotees to the gods follow the paths their faiths have put before them, and when religious fervor meets skill of arms and magic, kings will fall, armies will collide, and men and women will perish for their beliefs. Blood & Devotion contains nine illustrated short stories and novellas of epic fantasy, including tales by Jay Lake, James Maxey, William Jones, and Peter Andrew Smith, with a foreword by David B. Coe.

Unearthed (speculative Elements Volume3)
The Speculative Elements, Vol. 3 Earth–the ground of our being, the dust from which we come, and to which we will return. Imagine what might arise from and disappear into the soil…what grows, what is buried, what teems unseen. This collection, exploring the ends of the Earth and beyond, offers tales from the depths of darkness: zombies, vampires, murky unknowable worlds, underground prisons, malevolent spirits–to the lightest heights: earthen magic, little people, buried treasure and fantastical creatures! Dig in. These twenty-one stories will thrill, scare, surprise and delight.

UNdercurrents (speculative Elements Volume1)
A Cape Breton Anthology of Speculative Fiction (The Speculative Elements, Vol. 1)
The fourteen stories in Undercurrents ply the literary oceans of time and space, possibility and imagination. And while you may find familiar themes in these pages-love, change, greed, spirituality-you will discover that they take on a new perspective when viewed through the lens of the speculative. Inside are stories that ripple and swell with the unusual: fiddle-playing ghosts, malevolent cats, urbane vampires, and ordinary folks who have drifted into the realms of the extraordinary. Set your oars in these unusual waters and see for yourself what swirls in the undercurrents.
Contributors: Douglas Arthur Brown, Julie Curwin, Kerry A. Fudge, Larry A. Gibbons, Bruce V. Miller, Krista C. Miller, Katrina Nicholson, Seanah Roper, Stephanie Short, Peter Andrew Smith, D.C. Troicuk, Sherry D. Ramsey, Julie A. Serroul, Nancy S.M. Waldman.
