The Little Time Allotted Us
by Laura Paquette
Submit to time-manipulating tyrants, or burn their worlds with a warlord.
When war-criminal Khair wakes without her memories, and a violent parole officer in her head, her best chance at survival lies in a warlord who already lost one army. General Taivan was once the abused nephew of the Andromeda Khanate leader, a boy Khair did nothing to protect. Now, Taivan and Khair are among the last of the Khanate. With no home, no ships, and dubious allies, the Khanate will destroy its old enemies with their time-machine. But as the cost of war rises, Khair can’t help but wonder: is there any way to win this war without ravaging the multiverse?
Laura Paquette has crafted an exciting and immersive blend of action-packed scenes and deep character development, inviting readers to ponder complex questions of loyalty, morality, and the nature of warfare…. The Little Time Allotted Us is a compelling read that leaves readers eagerly anticipating the next installment.

The Pre-Corpse and Mortician
by Laura Paquette
The Algorithm determines when you’re harvested. It’s only rarely wrong.
As a Mortician, Cam shepherds the dying onto the Quietus, where they are painlessly killed so that their organs can be harvested, and a gratuity given to their family with only a small processing fee. She has no friends, no relations, only her prostitute Pierce and his family. But Pierce does not show the proper respect toward the Algorithm. Cam must convince the only person she loves to stop teaching border-line sedition, or his entire family will pay the price.
I found this short story intriguing and hard to put down once I started…Had to see how it would end. Made me think and wonder.
