Short Bits Volume 5: Five original science fiction & fantasy stories

By Belinda Crawford

Five original science fiction & fantasy stories.

Short Bits is a rebellious mix of short stories, from high fantasy to urban fantasy and LitRPG, each one exploring worlds where characters refuse to accept their predetermined paths. They're written for readers who believe in forging their own destiny, and published here because stories of defiance deserve to be shared.

Short Bits Volume 5 includes five original stories, opening with a futuristic diamond heist in So Long & Thanks for all the Diamonds, while Bug Hunt plunges you back into the world of virtual gaming and a library where books can kill. We switch from science fiction to fantasy with A Country Event and The Polar Bear, two tales of magic in ordinary places, before finishing the volume with The Deli, where knights in a shinning armour mix with nerdy teachers, and the scariest things lurk behind the counter.

The author introduces every story, taking you behind-the-scenes and providing insight into the inspiration and writing process behind each one.
