But The Owl Knows:
Science fiction short story anthology, featuring original and obscure material from writers and non-writers-- in words and in pictures (including several of mine). Stories for this project were deliberately chosen by me and volunteered from “amateur”, or relatively “unknown” or otherwise unpublished contributors that merit an audience, in support of original science fiction and www.savethechildren.org.
All profits will be donated to charity, so the anthology is essentially FREE.
Beautiful cover art is kindly provided by wild life activist and remarkably talented artist Rebecca Latham, of Latham Studios.

Who I'd like to meet: Independent film maker Jessica Mae Stover is giving sci-fi/fantasy movie fans a chance to participate in movie making history by supporting the production of Artemis Eternal: a visionary sci-fi short film project that is community funded/ promoted, and defies the status quo in how movies are made. Now you have the opportunity and power to directly influence the creation of an awesome science fiction fantasy film designed with you-- the audience-- in mind.
The story of the film is about questioning what society expects of you and what we accept as normal. Everything we're doing around the film fits and explores that theme.
Robot Ninja Wingman promotes Artemis Eternal sci-fi short film project (awesome)---
