When her concerned parents investigate a treatment that could change her life forever, Hannah’s world is thrown into turmoil. Unable to speak — at least not in ways most people can understand — Hannah struggles to face the question of who she really is, and who she wishes to become.
Originally published in the March 2011 issue of Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine, this brief story was marked Highly Recommended by Lois Tilton of Locus Reviews. Mundane-SF called it the “best story I have read so far this year”, and SFRevu called it “a truly fine story”. It is quite short, easily readable during a half-hour lunch break, and interweaves Hannah’s sincere narrative with concepts drawn from neurology, entropy, social evolution and chaos theory.

The Mind of the Beholder
Four Stories That Will Change the Way You Think
paperback
This little book contains four stories that will change the way you think.
When I first began accepting submissions to AnthologyBuilder, certain stories jumped out at me. They were stories about perception, sensory processing, and cognition. They were stories that expanded my understanding of what it means to be human. They were stories I fell in love with.
Now, bundled together with my Hugo/Nebula nominated story “Movement”, are three stories that touched my heart and broadened my horizons.
That Undiscovered Country
Jim Baen Memorial Award Winner
paperback | kindle | nook | smashwords | audible
This novelette was a 2011 Jim Baen Memorial Award Winner. It can be easily read from start to finish in about two hours.
Norma Jean Goodwyn is 120 years old and the founder of a most unusual space station. She and her peers — healthy, vibrant, yet forced into retirement — built the Gary Hudson Exospheric Laboratory as a haven for senior citizens who refused to grow idle in their old age.

Movement
2012 Nebula Award Nominee
paperback | kindle | nook | smashwords | audible
When Hannah’s parents investigate a treatment that could change her life forever, Hannah’s world is thrown into turmoil. Unable to speak — at least not in ways most people can understand — Hannah struggles to face the question of who she really is, and who she wishes to become.
Originally published in the March 2011 issue of Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine, “Movement” was marked Highly Recommended by Lois Tilton of Locus Reviews. Mundane-SF called it the “best story I have read so far this year”, and SFRevu called it “a truly fine story”. It is quite short, easily readable during a half-hour lunch break, and interweaves Hannah’s achingly tragic narrative with concepts drawn from neurology, entropy, social evolution and chaos theory.
Dead Men Don’t Cry
11 Stories by Nancy Fulda
paperback | kindle | nook | smashwords
Eleven stories originally published in a variety of print and online magazines, including Phobos Award Winner “The Man Who Murdered Himself” and WOTF finalist “Backlash”. The stories span the range from chilling horror to whimsical adventure, and pretty much everything in between.
The Breath of Heaven
Stories from Distant Worlds
paperback | kindle | nook | smashwords
Three stories set on distant worlds. “The Breath of Heaven” was a WOTF finalist. It follows the emotional development of a sentient computer as she struggles to do what’s right. “Knowing Neither Kin Nor Foe” is a reversal on the archetype of the Chosen One. Kitjaya’s people look on her as their savior – a destiny she has no desire to fulfill. “In the Halls of the Sky-Palace” was recommended for a Nebula Award. It is the story of a king who fears peace, a stalker that does not exist, and a child who rescues both.
