1st and Starlight collects stories from fourteen Writers of the Future finalists, some of whom went on to the collect wins in their respective quarters.
My story, "Shepherd of the Spheres," explores matters of faith on a lonely space station in orbit around Jupiter. In the accompanying author's notes/essay I talk a little about the making of the story and the terror I face every time I ask the question "Are We Ready?"
