Together is a Distant Star

By Nancy Foster, A J Calvin, V Carvajal Leiva

How far would you go to find where you belong?

A shapeshifting alien changeling raised by humans. The "wicked" child selected as the village sacrifice. People trapped in rigid belief systems, oppressive regimes, well-intentioned families, complicated relationships, and their very own bodies.

Is it better to succumb and survive, or escape by staking everything on a slender hope?

What triumphs in the end, love or vengeance?

And if all that remains is ashes, is it still worth it?

Grapple with these questions by diving into twelve new science fiction and fantasy stories. Together is a Distant Star is a collaborative anthology that encompasses authors hailing from Europe to Australia, South Africa to South America, and celebrates a kaleidoscope of perspectives-female, nonbinary, BIPOC, queer, and more.

Featuring stories from: A.J. Calvin, C.B. Lansdell, Nancy Foster, Andrea Marie Johnson, Natalie Kelda, V. Carvajal Leiva, Karen Lykkebo, Erika McCorkle, Branwen OShea, Alyse Steves, Delilah Waan, and Isabelle Wagner.
