FEATURED BOOK OF THE MONTH

Crooked V3: A Sci-Fi Crime Anthology

Welcome to CROOKED V.3! This third installment in the Crooked anthology series brings you ten more stories of space crime. The goal of the Crooked anthology series is to introduce you, the reader, to authors who are currently writing sci-fi crime stories. Many of the stories in this collection are set in larger universes, which means that if you read something you like, you’ll find plenty more in that author’s catalogue to keep you busy.

Jobs will go wrong. Backs will be stabbed. Mayhem will break out.

And things will definitely explode.

You’re gonna love it here. I promise.

AVAILABLE IN EBOOK FORM HERE!

Crooked V.3: A Sci-Fi Crime Anthology is a fun read with stories by indie-authors like me. A new short story in my Forgotten Fodder series can be found here called Proof of Life (and it takes place between the first 4 novels and the new set coming in Fall 2025!)
