Publisher's summary

Edgar-award winning author Dana Stabenow is best known for her Kate Shugak novels, but the unifying protagonist of almost all her writing - be it crime, fantasy, horror, or science fiction - is Alaska. This genre-spanning collection of 16 short stories features familiar characters like Kate and Jim, Liam and Wy, and Bill and Moses, but also ranges farther afield than many listeners will expect, leaping from modern-day Anchorage to 22nd-century Mars to the fantasy kingdom of Mnemosynea. Remarkably disparate, but indisputably Stabenow, whose fertile imagination is anything but predictable.

Titles in this collection: "Nooses Give", "Conspiracy", "Under the Influence", "Wreck Rights", "Cherchez la Femme", "Siren Song", "The Eyak Interpreter", "Any Taint of Vice", "On the Evidence", "Missing, Presumed...", "The Perfect Gift", "Gold Fever", "Cheechako", "No Place Like Home", "Justice Is a Two-edged Sword", and "A Woman's Work".

Newly added in this edition, find "Collected Essays" and "Dana on Writing" as well!

Alaska

You better like Alaska, or this isn’t for you.

Not sure if I really needed to get the DIY authors social media advice, but I got through that,
too

Much more than short stories

The collection included specific advice on how to be a writer, how to get published or go with self publishing, and some very interesting high fantasy short stories. Of course there was also several Kate S. stories and the Kate stories are what drew me in. Dana is a fascinating woman!

A must read/listen to, again and again

What a joy! Aside from the amazing writing we’ve all come to know and love, the variety of subjects, the humor, the reality, the shared information is worth every second spent.
