Short Bits Volume 5 — Belinda Crawford

Five original science fiction & fantasy stories.Short Bits is an eclectic mix of short stories, from high fantasy to urban fantasy and LitRPG, each one exploring a new world. They're written for the fun of it and published here because otherwise they'll sit in a drawer, and that's no fun at all.Short Bits Volume 5 includes five original stories, opening with a futuristic diamond heist in So Long & Thanks for all the Diamonds, while Bug Hunt plunges you back into the world of virtual gaming and a library where books can kill. We switch from science fiction to fantasy with A Country Event and The Polar Bear, two tales of magic in ordinary places, before finishing the volume with The Deli, where knights in a shinning armour mix with nerdy teachers, and the scariest things lurk behind the counter.The author introduces every story, taking you behind-the-scenes and providing insight into the inspiration and writing process behind each one.
