Sum³
Jody Wallage, Ed.
Sum³ offers nine short works on the cutting edge of speculative romance. Spanning the gamut, the anthology contains love stories in science fiction, high fantasy, mythic fantasy, contemporary urban fantasy and historical fantasy sub-genres. Some are hot, some are sweet, but all have happy endings and all explore the wonders, fears and delights of falling in love outside the ordinary.
The anthology's genesis is the Zircon Speculative Short Fiction Contest, hosted in 2004 and 2005 by Speculative Romance Online and its progenitor, the Science Fiction Romance newsletter. Published continuously since 1994, the newsletter runs ahead of the speculative romance curve, championing both fans and authors as the subgenre grew from oddity to the powerhouse it is today. With 800+ active members, it's one of the oldest and most popular communities dedicated to speculative romance fiction.
Sum³ showcases the gathering movement of more seamless cross-genre blending of speculative and romantic content. It delivers powerful love stories to draw in the loyal and never-satiated readers of romance and enough world-building to capture the imagination of science fiction and fantasy readers.
