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.

Pre-Order—The Depredides Dance by C.M. Simpson

The first release for July, The Depredides Dance, is now available for pre-order direct from Amazon, Smashwords, Kobo, and multiple stores via Books2Read, as well as via Smashwords and Draft2Digital distribution. The Depredides Dance tells the story of what happened to Cutter directly after Mack 'n' Me: Origins.

All I had to do was disappear. That was it: disappear and stay out of sight. Hard enough with Abs running an auction for the last location she left me, but then I poked the Depredides communications network—and everything else looked downright easy… I’m not even sure there is a way out of this…

The Depredides Dance is a stand-alone short story set in the Odyssey universe. However, if you’re into reading things in order, it tells the story of what happened to Cutter after the end of Mack ‘n’ Me: Origins, and thus forms story 1-1 of the Mack ‘n’ Me ‘n’ Odyssey series.

NOTE: The main character swears like a sailor, and the support cast aren’t much better. If swears bother you, then this story may not be to your taste.
