Unfixed Timelines (the first volume)

Cover art for Unfixed TimelinesWhen I initially published Unfixed Timelines, I had a vague idea that I would do more of these collections. Still, I didn’t add a “1” onto the title, as that seemed a little odd to me. The second and third volumes, of course, have numbers, which now makes the first volume stand out a little bit in comparison.

Rather than “alternate history,” I prefer the term “fantastical history,” because the former implies a change to history itself, while the latter implies historical events with fantasy elements to explain the history. So the stories in Unfixed Timelines involve aliens, gods, zombies, magic, and more. And while some stories diverge from actual history more than others, most of them still feel like they could be plausible in a world with these elements!
