  “Twenty SFF authors reimagine famous moments from history in this anthology of what might have been.” —Publishers Weekly History may be written by the victors, but it is not always written in stone. Often the difference between a win or a loss comes down to the smallest moment, the smallest shift. A bit of luck. This anthology of twenty alternate history short stories revisits several of those pivotal moments and imagines what might have happened if things had gone just a little bit differently. The authors have drawn upon the whole timeline of history to tell stories of Scottish kings and Russian czars who lived instead of died, of wars whose outcome hinged on one person’s single choice, and of inventions that might have changed the world. The collection is filled with familiar figures—including Billy the Kid, Vlad Dracula, and Jack the Ripper—as well as stories exploring two very different fates of the Roman Empire. The anthology also includes an alternate history from the fictional world of The Great Gatsby. Some stories look at events that have not yet happened, and a few blur the meaning of time itself. History can be surprisingly malleable if we simply look at it in a new light.A Bit of Luck is the ninth anthology edited by Lisa Mangum and published by WordFire Press. Profits support the Don Hodge Memorial Scholarship fund for the Superstars Writing Seminars."This anthology is a must for lovers of fast-paced short stories with a historical and fantastical bent." —Booklist

  Game of Thrones meets Pirates of the Caribbean in this thrilling tale of war, revenge, and adventure on the high seas! 
  Lilyth the Red, an elite assassin, made a promise to her family. She failed to keep it. Now, she will stop at nothing to hunt down the pirates who wronged her—even posing as the champion of a goddess, brainwashing an army of cultists, and igniting a war so ruthless that it threatens to awaken the ancient horrors of the Drowned Sea. 
  Erin Rose, a street urchin, only ever cared about picking pockets with her father. But that’s no longer an option. Alone, the price of survival is costly, paid in flesh and brutality. The only question is whose blood will be on her hands: her own or her newfound friends. 
  First Mate Jameson, a pirate-turned-storyteller, left a life of violence behind him. Or so he’d thought. But life on the sea is crueller than it has ever been. Trapped between sea monsters, cultists, and pirates, Jameson’s stories might be his only salvation—and the ruin of the gods. 
  War ravages the Drowned Sea, monsters rise from its depths, and heroes drown in them. In this world where land is sparse and gunpowder rules the sea, only the villains will survive. 
  Listen now to explore the world as they destroy it.

  Some legends were never meant to be uncovered. Some curses refuse to die. 
   
   
   
  When a Revolutionary War reenactment in a small Virginia town turns deadly, Captain Leah Morgan and her Legacy Operations Command team are called in to investigate. The suspect? A man who swears he wasn't in the present when he pulled the trigger. He claims he was fighting in 1781, defending his home from the British—right before he shot and killed a fellow reenactor with a musket that was never supposed to be loaded. 
   
   
   
  The problem? Forensics confirms the wound came from an authentic musket ball. And the shooter has no memory of how it got there. 
   
   
   
  As Leah digs deeper, she uncovers a long-buried secret tied to a powerful relic—one that might just be rewriting history itself. With time running out and the past bleeding into the present, she must race to stop a supernatural force from reigniting a war that should have ended centuries ago. 
   
   
   
  For fans of Indiana Jones, National Treasure, and The Mummy, The Minuteman's Curse blends action, history, and supernatural intrigue in a heart-pounding adventure. 
   
   
   
  The past isn't done with us yet. Uncover the secret before history repeats itself . . . in blood.

  I always thought the worst thing about my life was shoveling manure. Turns out, I was wrong. 
  My mother's dying words reveal a devastating truth: I'm half-fae. Before I can even process this, my stepfather announces he's sold me off to a cruel stranger. 
  So I run. 
  Into the woods, where fae lurk in the shadows, waiting. The only person I trust is Harek, my best friend. Yet even he has been keeping secrets. Can I trust anyone at all? 
  Each step deeper into fae territory brings me closer to the truth about my father, the mysterious fae who abandoned me. He's the key to understanding the strange power awakening inside me—power that sets my palm ablaze with an eerie orange light. But finding him means stepping into a world where halflings like me are hunted and despised, where ancient magic stirs in the darkness, and where every choice could be my last. 
  As the line between friend and foe blurs, and my feelings for Harek turn into something I'm not ready to face, I begin to wonder: What if the truth about who I am is the very thing that destroys me?

  Jane Austen Cannot Marry!

  "POWERFUL AND POIGNANT…I LOVED THIS BOOK."
  - Jane Porter, NYT Bestselling Author
   
  A FISH-OUT-OF-WATER TIME TRAVEL NOVEL
  SET IN REGENCY ENGLAND
  AND THE 21ST CENTURY COLORADO ROCKIES
  Nadine Finley has made the quantum commute to 1811 to stop Jane Austen from meeting and marrying Captain Charles Gordon. The two of them share a romantic past, and if Nadine fails in her mission, Jane will never get to London. The fledgling author will never get her first book ready for publication. And if the novel is never readied for the presses, Jane will never go back home and revise the manuscript that will eventually become Pride and Prejudice. In short, disaster.
  The mission instructions were plain and simple: Jane Austen cannot marry.
  Except...matters become extremely complicated when the Scribe Guardian's own romantic interest unintentionally follows her across the centuries to 1811.
  Xander Nouri is a tech billionaire who is cheerfully unfamiliar with both history and literature. He has also forged a life where he is insulated from the non-quantifiable uncertainties of feelings and romance. In fact, the only time he let his guard down was for three wildly unexpected days in Las Vegas when he allowed his heart to be fondled and then stomped on by an elusive woman named Nadine. Xander lives in a world of reason, facts, and data…none of which explain her appearance, dressed in period clothing, in a coffin a mile from his secluded mountain home.
  And her claim of time traveling doesn't exactly compute.
  It's not long before sparks once again begin to fly between the former lovers. But Nadine needs to get back to her mission before literary history is permanently damaged. By the time she's able to make the quantum leap back in time, Jane Austen and the captain have already met again...and romance is brewing.
  To complicate matters, Xander has made the trip, as well. And Xander is the unlikeliest 'nerd-out-of-water' ever to land on Regency shores.
