Hemelein Productions has announced its next upcoming Anthology of tales to benefit student discounts to the annual writing symposium “Life The Universe and Everything”…to be released at LTUE in 2024.
Yes, and I have a story in it called “The Box” that I wrote especially for Troubadours and Space Princesses. These anthologies are so much fun that I’m going to make a point of submitting a story to it every year.
Here’s the story and author list…

- “The Song to Save a Cursed Kingdom” by Kate Dane
- “Freedom’s Song” by Cray Dimensional
- “A Power in Ink” by Max Florschutz
- “One Last Gig” by Martin Greening
- “Milo Piper’s Breakout Single that Ended the Rat War” by David Hankins
- “Bards of a Feather” by Henry Herz
- “The Box” by Bill Housley
- “Muzik Man” by Wulf Moon
- “The Bard and the Invisible Witch” by Elsa Nickle
- “I Am Gorbunk, Hear Me Braawr” by Scott M. Sands
- “Saving the Akagi” by W. Jefferson Smith
- “Tales of Myrick the (Not So) Magnificent: Troubles with Troubadours” by Berin L. Stephens
- “A Song of Smokeless Fire” by Elise Stephens
- “The Cave and the Lyre” by D.J. Tyrer
- “Siren Song at Midnight” by David Farland
The editors for the anthology are Joe Monson and Jeleta Clegg. I stand humbled to again be in such esteemed company amongst such a great line-up of wonderful stories. I’ve followed the links for each of these authors researching their various accomplishments and highlighting any recent work that they’re currently promoting so that you can taste a bit of their work before Troubadours and Space Princesses comes out in print in 15 months or so.
Jenny Perry Carr

I found two links to the works of Jenny Perry Carr for you to sample. She has a story called “Model Citizen: A Deadly Tale of Beauty” in the anthology called “From The Yonder 2”.
Her other story that I found is called “Blue Serpent” and you can read it for free right here…BLUE SERPENT – Dark Recesses Press.
She’s currently working on her “After the Falling” trilogy of novels.
Kate Dane

Kate has a paperback romance novel out called “Sit. Stay. Kill.”
Cool Title.
It’s a story about a woman who rescues a dog that turns out to be a werewolf.
Cray Dimensional

Cray has one novel out, Psych Wars, a bit of a time travel story.
Max Florschutz
https://www.amazon.com/Max-Florschutz/e/B00N8P9XMU
Max has a whole list of books on Amazon, including the third and final book in his UNSEC Space Trilogy that’s coming out next week on Nov. 29th. The entire trilogy is ranking well on Amazon right now.
Martin Greening
I hope this is the same Martin Greening…Joe, please let me know if I got this wrong.
Martin has stories in two anthologies…”Other Side of the Tracks” in the anthology “Cursed Collectibles” and “The Stone Garden” in an anthology that he put together called “Tales of Ruma”. Tales of Ruma looks like it’s still ranking pretty well on Amazon.
David J Hankins

It’s great to be rubbing elbows in the same book with a recent Writers of the Future winner. Whatever story he wrote that won third place in the second quarter contest this year won’t be out for a while and the web page for the announcement won’t embed in this blog for some reason, but here’s the link…
However, David also has a free-read story on DreamForge for you to sample called “A Properly Spiced Gingerbread”. Read it at the link below…
Henry Herz
Then there’s children’s book author and all-around funny guy Henry Herz, author of the great and critically acclaimed children’s nature book “I Am Smoke”.
Wulf Moon
Award-winning author Wolf Moon has written many successful works, including most recently his story “Sharnathium” published in the November 2022 Issue of Galaxy’s Edge Magazine. He’s written in several anthologies including Writers of the Future, Deep Magic, Flatiron, and DreamForge. He’s won awards from the Star Trek Strange New Worlds, Critter Reader’s Choice, Nora Roberts, and Writers of the Future. He runs the award-winning SUPER SECRETS Online Resource and Writing Workshop.
Elsa Nickle
Elsa Nickle co-wrote book 4 in the Wyle Away Ranch series of romance novels…Come Home, Cowboy (A Clean, Fake Relationship Romance). It came out early last year and is still ranking very well against other romance novels on Amazon.
Scott M. Sands

Scott has just told me that this is his first publication, so congrats, Scott. One of the purposes of this anthology is to introduce new talent. I’m very much looking forward to reading his story, “I Am Gorbunk, Hear Me Braawr”.
W. Jefferson Smith
https://www.facebook.com/willjesmith
I couldn’t find anything for Jefferson either, so Joe Monson and Jeleta Clegg have discovered a new writer with his first-ever published story, “Saving the Akagi”, appearing in “Troubadours and Space Princesses“. I hope to see much from him in the future.
Berin Lee Stephens
Berin has written for an LTUE Anthology before…“Tales of Myrick the (Not So) Magnificent: The Lizard Wizard’s Blizzard” in Parliament of Wizards. He also has an episodic story on Kindle Vella.
Elise Stephens
https://www.elisestephens.com/
Elise has a story called “War Painting” in a recent anthology “Guilded Glass”, as well as a story called “Untrained Luck” in Issue 35 of “Writers of the Future”…which means that she too is an award-winning author. She has also had several other short stories published, as well as two novels of her own…”Forecast” and “Guardian of the Gold Breathers”.
D.J. Tyrer
https://www.facebook.com/DJTyrerwriter
From his Facebook page and website, it looks like DJ writes for anthologies quite a lot, his latest work being in a collection of tales on the Sherlock Holmes universe. “The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories Part XXXIV”. Also, you can read a short poem of his here…https://575haikujournal.wordpress.com/2022/10/29/return/.
David Farland
Also writing under the name John David Wolverton, the late Dave Farland is considered by the local writing community to be the father of the speculative fiction talent pool in the Salt Lake City Intermountain area. He has taught and coached many best-selling authors in the region. He has more recently served as the head judge of the L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers and Illustrators of the Future Contest. He’s written more than 50 novels with several best sellers and also wrote “Sweetly the Dragon Dreams” in Trace the Stars, the debut anthology in the LTUE Anthology series.
David Farland died this year (2022) and Troubadours and Space Princesses is being compiled in his honor.
