Trips

By Jeff Doten

Sandra stumbles through the wreckage of her transport ship, and the grief of personal loss, seeking coffee from a stock that isn't going to last. Her ship's survivors, huddled in the shadow of its jagged wreckage, are going to have to find a way to stay warm if they're going to survive where they've crash-landed. But everything beyond the relative safety of the camp is dangerous. Like the predatory hex beasts who prey on the yellow-furred herds of animals she thinks of as honey bears. But as Sandra is to learn, when she leaves camp to find a way to deal with her distress, the prey can sometimes be more dangerous than the predator. And she still has more to lose ... or gain!

The Megan Survival Anthology

We at Reality Skimming Press have had this project in the back of our minds for quite some time now. This project originally developed during a conversation between Lynda Williams (owner of RSP) and Jeff Doten (RSP's house artist). A couple hours and a few beers later, the world of Mega was born.

The details of the world itself were conceived by Jeff, whereas the universe, and the rules that come along with it, was developed by Lynda while writing her 10-novel Okal Rel Saga.

The stories in this anthology were originally published as digital singles on the Reality Skimming Blog followed by an author interview. The print edition features art by Jeff, stories by six authors along with author bios, and a special print-only Forward written by science fiction author Randy McCharles.
