I love writing alternate history stories. Several of those included in this collection are set in pasts that never happened. Others are set in futures that events have made unreachable.
Sometimes a counterfactual story happens by chance. That's one of the risks intrinsic to writing SF set in the very near future. So if anyone is wondering why I included 'Star in a Glass' in this collection, check the final scene...carefully.
If you enjoy reading these stories, you can find other examples of my work on AnthologyBuilder and in e-book form elsewhere on the Web.
