Ah, summer.
There’s nothing like a festive day at the beach sunbathing, swimming, or stretching your muscles with an invigorating game of volleyball. Better yet, a picnic in the park to celebrate the holidays. Veggie burgers and pasta salad and ice cream, oh my!
Then come the sultry summer evenings with an icy cocktail in one hand and a sexy partner in the other. The best entertainment portion of the night is when the two of you slip into the shadows so you can...well, forget all of that! I have something much more spectacular, namely, free stories to enrich your time this holiday weekend.
To wit:
* S. L. Viehl’s RULE NUMBER ONE
* Ann Aguirre’s STILL WE LIVE
* Isabo Kelly’s LAST CALL ON ELDORA STATION
* Linnea Sinclair’s GAMBIT
And, though not necessarily SFR, there’s loads of good SF shorts from Strange Horizons (this link takes you to 135 of them).
If you still can’t get enough, go forth and inhale Elaine Corvidae’s novel, EXILE’S BURN. After all, who knows fun better than SFR wordsmiths?
Before I sign off, here’s a little eye candy for the journey.
Happy reading, and have a safe & happy Independence Day for those of you beaming in from the US!
Joyfully yours,
Heather
