Blurb: The advent of digital publishing has seen the rise of a new breed of writers: independent, experimental and unfettered by convention. This brand new anthology features a small sampling of these very writers, in a speculative fiction collection that will capture the imagination and dazzle the senses. The storytelling genius in this collection is most evidenced by its memorable characters: a young woman haunted by her ex-boyfriend’s sweater, time travelers with a suspicious interest in babies, a gender-changing alien desperate to heal a loved one… In these stories, fourteen independent authors display the imagination, insight and wonderful originality that characterize the unique world of online fiction.

Featuring: An introduction by Jan Oda, Editor in Chief, Ergofiction Magazine.

Zoe E. Whitten, Is a self-published writer, who writes a lot of dark or weird stories. Instead of storing them on her hard drive, she posts them online. She has self-published four print books and web-published nine serial fiction stories, four short stories and one direct-to-e-book novel.

G.L. Drummond, Is a gun-toting alien with a fetish for fur and four-legged creatures who writes fiction & tweets. Bonus! She has a katana. Indie author/self-publisher.

MeiLin Miranda, "MeiLin" means "plum jade," which is a pretty mauve-colored jade, but it can also mean "beautiful mugwort." She has been writing non-fiction for thirty-plus years, and fiction since October 25, 2007, when she published her first Doctor Who/Torchwood fanfiction. She is best known now for her serials, An Intimate History of the Greater Kingdom and Scryer’s Gulch.

MCM, Madman at Large, wears many hats—often at the same time. He’s a writer, programmer, illustrator, and the creator of the animated TV series “RollBots.” His books are the foundation of 1889 Labs. MCM has a long history in technology and is active in the Free Culture movement.

Lyn Thorne-Alder & Chris Childs, Lyn is author of Addergoole, a contemporary fantasy story with erotic and dark-fantasy elements, a modern-day fairy tale of sorts, without the soft-glow filters to soften the harsh edges, without the safety of "happily ever after" or even the security of knowing that the Prince on his white horse is the good guy. Chris Childs studied engineering, but now runs a retail store, and spends his spare time writing. When not working on Addergoole with Lyn, he enjoys roleplaying.

Isa K. Writer and Owner of fluffy-seme.net

M. Jones, Has been published both online and in print, wrote a script for a radio play, The Withered Leaves of Autumn, and has run a couple of ezines. Webfiction offerings include 314 Crescent Manor and Black Wreath.

Erica Bercegeay & Charissa Cotrill, Irk and Char are members of a studio/brain trust called Infernal Shenanigans, which is the place they find their third brain sometimes. They call that third brain Jess. They co-write the awesome webfiction, The Peacock King.

T.L. Whiteman Began writing at five, with "The Adventures of Okty the Oktopus", in which a nine-legged octopus embarks on a journey to find treasure. The writing is completely illegible (except for the title), but I'm sure it was epic, as is  The Antithesis which has topped out the Top Web Fiction lists for the past several thousand years.

M.C.A. Hogarth, Have you ever wanted to study anthropology... on another world? Learn languages never spoken on Earth? Dreamed of paging through a National Geographic devoted to cultures from other planets? Do you wonder what it's like to be neuter? To shift your shape? To have eggs instead of babies? To have four ears, six fingers... wings? Welcome to the world of M. C. A. Hogarth, author, artist... historian to aliens. Who says xeno-studies are hundreds of years away?

Nancy Brauer, A geologist turned web programmer turned writer and graphic artist, Nancy Brauer has yet to decide what she wants to be when she grows up. She’s been writing, drawing, and cracking open rocks for as long as she can remember. Nancy divides her time between freelance web and graphic design, writing assorted web serials, and helping steer 1889 Labs. Her latest works are the sci-fi/action serial Strandline, the sci-fi/romance Strange Little Band and the paranormal thriller Tori’s Row.

And,

A.M. Harte, Loves chocolate. She is an author with many aspirations, amongst which sampling chocolate from every country in the world and getting published. She is fascinated by the untapped potential of digital content, particularly when it comes to indie publishing and the online fiction community. Anna loves chocolate, and is an editor for Web Fiction Guide and for Ergofiction, runs her own online publishing project, qazyfiction, and a review blog, quillsandzebras. Chocolate.
