Description

A murderous Queen of Hearts, the problems of time-traveling mail, a horny merman who meets his fanged match, and Galactic Rangers dealing with kidnapped royals and libidinous cat queens.

What do these all have in common? They're all in Random Realities, a compilation of ten speculative fiction tales by Melanie Fletcher. Featuring an introduction by the award-winning writer Jana Oliver, Random Realities includes a disturbing take on the future of acting ("Star Quality"), a bubba-heavy paranormal black comedy ("The Padre, the Rabbi, and the Devil His Own Self"), and a flamboyant riff on 50's space opera ("Lusts of the Cat Queen: a Dash Manning Adventure").

In addition to previously published material, Random Realities also includes two never-before published stories; a dark look at a loveless queen ("All on a Summer's Day"), and two dear friends spending their final days together ("The Quiet Sound of Bees).
