Pre-Release Available—River’s Edge

Ever been in a situation where you just needed to walk away? What about one where you had no choice but to run? In River’s Edge, the latest science-fiction short story from C.M. Simpson, one woman’s flight from an unfortunate future, leads to her discovering a better one for not only herself, but the small, accidental colony that was her home.

River’s Edge has been uploaded for pre-order to Amazon, Kobo, Google Play, Smashwords, and DriveThruFiction, and will shortly be available via Smashwords and Draft2Digital distribution.

When my mother told me to run, I ran. I ran all the way to the river and then stopped—because the river was a frightening place, and forbidden by the raiders who came to take their annual toll of settlers. Faced with the choice of being taken, or taking my chances in the river, I took a step back, and hoped that somewhere, across the river I’d find help.
