An old school sci-fi murder mystery in the vein of Clarke and Asimov; A mousy cubical drone with desperate hidden desires; A servant of evil hell-bent on a bargain to make himself immortal; The wasted land of the future holds more than a girl thought to find; Unannounced visitors push a wounded vet to the edge of sanity; A lonely man and a shopkeeper find faith in the smallest of articles; In war and peace, some scars never fully heal, and sometimes the monster in the woods may be your only chance not to become prey.
From the coffee stained, microbrew soaked Pacific Northwest comes a collection of speculative fiction from the Northwest Independent Writers Association. NIWA has assembled eight short pieces from up-and-coming local authors, ranging from stories to keep you awake at night, to tales of swords, sorcery, and humanity’s far-flung future.

Brad Wheeler is the author of "Fugitives from Earth", a hard science fiction space opera of action, intrigue, and human drama. Given the slightest chance, Brad will nerd out on astronomy and space exploration, history, computers, and gaming; he does very little that doesn't involve at least one of the above. He freely credits an early love of Star Wars and Star Trek with motivating him to become a writer. When not writing, Brad spends most of his time playing games or travelling the internet as a non-corporeal intelligence. He is also a board member and co-founder of the Northwest Independent Writers Association.
