SHOCKING FUTURE :  A Collection Of Twisted Tales

My first collection of short stories has been published!

I've put together an outstanding mix of sci-fi and fantasy tales, that hint at the macabre, with a splash of humour, and a hockey sock full of great characters to root for.

The first story you'll lay your eyes on is one about a little gremlin named Pearson. He is at that awkward age between child and adult, and trying to find his way. His friend, and rival, compare stories of their gremlin tricks while they test the edges of their gremlin culture. A love interest is the spark that brings everything to a head and changes the lives of all the gremlins in the community.

The Big Payout, gives us a behind the scenes look at a futuristic streaming game show where both contestants and viewers can win big money...or lose their lives. Merc is this weeks contestant, and one lucky guy. He works his way through the various rounds winning more and more money. When it comes to the final round he must gambling with not only his life, but the life of his family and friends. Will he win the Big Payout?

To lighten the mood in between these heavy stories, I've offered up something on the humourous side - The Adventures of Chuck and Sampson. These two members of the Galaxy Union find themselves in some awkward situations; first in their spacecraft, then on a deserted asteroid, and finally when they are being rescued by socially strict aliens.

Numbers is another highlight of the book. A heist / escape story where Khic, a fiesty inmate at a futuristic penal planet, and her crew use some old fashioned brain power to outsmart the high tech security systems that keep them penned up.

There are a few other small page turners thrown in for good measure. I mean, who wouldn't like to imagine what a truck stop of the future would look like? Or that a small misinterpretation could lead to a wild chase around a space station? They are the kind of stories that you can read in Shocking Future!

Get your hands on all of this now, in paperback or e-book. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D836XQ3X
