The night after my mother died, I met her in my dreams, in a dark wood.
And I was furious.

Coming very soon!

uncollected: not collected or gathered together.
anthology: a collection of selected literary pieces.
oxymoron: a combination of words that have opposite or very different meanings.

The Uncollected Anthology series is indeed an oxymoron. Sprung from the minds of six fabulous authors who love fantasy, short stories, and each other’s writing, the series’ main goal is to bring you quality urban fantasy fiction.

The October Edition of the Uncollected Anthology Series is: Winter Witches. Tales of blue sky, snow, renewal, hearth, and magic…

My story is called “The Witch of Budapest.” —

Budapest, 1936. Magdalena Lazarus, the last of the Lazarus witches, seeks her inheritance in the lair of the notorious vampire Count Bathory. Despite her mother’s death, Magda must outlast the winter of her heart. A short story set in the world of the Lady Lazarus series.

“Laced with romance, this high-tech, futuristic, scifi adventure is full of suspense and danger.” -SciFi Chick

A subversive, thrilling tale of the Singularity’s dark side…and a love so intense it has the power to transform the world.

Talia Fortune, intergalactic sheriff, hunts a dangerous outlaw through cyberspace and into the Real. The chase brings Talia face-to-face with the terrifying truth — humanity, and Talia herself, unknowingly stand in the shadows of a high-tech apocalypse driven by artificial intelligence.

Talia must find the courage to trust the same man who destroyed her illusions and led her into danger, and disappear into an untamed, alien wilderness where no ordinary rules apply…

This edition features bonus material, including a short story set in the Netherwood universe, an interview with the author, and more.

I’ll be releasing more stories in this universe and will keep you posted! I thought I was done with Talia and her weirdly beautiful world, but she and her compatriots in the Gray Forest aren’t out of trouble yet, not by a long shot…
