SUM3: Someone, Somewhere, Somewhen 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. The emphasis on relationships will draw in the loyal and never-satiated readers of romance, and the complexity of the world-building will capture the imagination of science fiction and fantasy readers. Some of the stories 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.

Stories include:

“The Last Guardian” -- Award-winning Cerridwen Press author Isabo Kelly mixes unrequited love and demonic threats into a suspenseful fantasy adventure.

"The Farmer's Boy and the Southern Princess” -- C. Mitchell O'Neal's gift to his wife won the 2005 Zircon's first prize with its lyrical voice and mythic scope.
