Fiction River: Last Stand

Sub-title: An Original Anthology Magazine
Edited by: Dean Wesley Smith and Felicia Fredlund
Series editors: Dean Wesley Smith and Kristine Kathryn Rusch
Genre: Multi-genre. My story is High Fantasy.

History offers many heroic tales of final battles. And in Last Stand, sixteen courageous authors offer their take on the topic. From a heartwarming tale of not-so-friendly business competition to a battle of the gods—sort of—for the fate of the world to a tale of looking for love in all the wrong places. These inventive stories make Last Stand one of the most creative—and memorable—Fiction River volumes yet.
