Announcing Ifscapes, Vol. 10: Something Earthlings Notice!

Now available on Amazon: Something Earthlings Notice, Volume 10 in the Ifscapes series

Ifscapes celebrates its literary “decade” of possible worlds, alternate histories, fantastical what-ifs, and wondrous would-have-beens, spanning a kaleidoscopic multiverse of landscapes and timelines. What unexpected events unfold when ruthless porch pirates hit the plainland? Can Human Resources and Customer Service help locate a missing world in time to save the warranty? And who says pushing planets is like pushing pencils, anyway?

In this volume of Ifscapes:

- transform Earthling tragedy into Titanian triumph

- investigate an enigmatic bank robbery gone sideways

- issue receipts from an undiscovered future

- follow along with secret agents out to rescue a weary universe

- witness first and last contact from the ground up

- peruse the want ads for the perfect galaxy-trotting job

Dystopian battles behind the scenes, unseen extraterrestrial invasions from unseen realms, library stacks at the end of the world, everyday routines changing the fates of universes? Farmers, bookworms, schoolchildren. Product designers, soldiers, settlers, paraplegic astronauts. Something Earthlings Notice ranges from the outrageous to the ordinary to the biggest to the smallest, uncovering cosmic collisions of prosaic proportions. Mass extinction on a minute scale, advanced technology from antiquity, time travel at a standstill, and hints of empire in the most mundane. In Ifscapes, Volume 10: Something Earthlings Notice, impossible details become possible-world tales and cerebral unrealities spin into adventurous realities . . . if the people of Earth will take the time to notice.
