Hey Space Cadets, today is a good day! My short story was published today as a part of the Alien Days: A Castrum Press Anthology. It was co-written with my former editor in 2017 and later discovered on a thumb drive. When Corey Truax and I heard of the call for this anthology, we had to submit our story! Now here we are, proud contributors to this kick-ass anthology! It was a lot of fun to write, we hope you have as much fun reading it!

This anthology is a multi-author anthology with thrilling tales of aliens, invasions, artificial intelligence, friendship, deceit, and extinction. A combination which makes this collection a must-read for science fiction short story fans.

This anthology features Nebula and Dragon award nominees, Amazon bestsellers and award winners alongside rising stars in the science fiction genre. Let the authors take you on adventures through dystopian worlds and far-flung planets that will stretch your imagination… Welcome to Alien Days.
