    About this ebook

    I have been writing as a hobbyist for some time, but this is actually my very first ever published book.

    As a fan of alternate history going back over a decade, I have long wanted to publish my own stories to share with the world, though only recently have I actually gotten the opportunity to do so. My discovery of flash fiction truly was a proverbial lifesaver; this format allowed me to write more freely without necessarily having to worry about super-deep worldbuilding that might have been required in full-length stories.

    Generally, these stories do vary somewhat in their focus on the pure "alternative history" aspect; some are fairly well invested in the divergences themselves(i.e., what if the U.S. had annexed more Mexican territory), while in others, they take a bit more of a backseat to the general storytelling.

    Hi there! I'm a longtime alternate history aficionado from Texas who's been writing for a while, but just recently got into the world of publishing. I'm still a novice in terms of actual writing, so any helpful critiques and/or encouragement would be highly appreciated.

      If the interview with Simon Jenkins in your March issue (A Welsh Tragedy?) is anything to go by, I suspect his recent Radio 4 documentary – controversially entitled Wales: A Twentieth-Century Tragedy? – was largely based on flimsy anecdotal evidence.
