Annie Reed has been called "one of the best writers of her generation" and for good reason. She writes in multiple genres, including mystery and suspense, science fiction, thrillers, romance, and urban and contemporary fantasy, along with the occasional story that doesn't fall into any one specific category.

She's a founding member and frequent contributor to the innovative UNCOLLECTED ANTHOLOGY, now in its eleventh year of publishing themed urban and contemporary anthologies three times a year. Her short fiction appears regularly in PULPHOUSE FICTION MAGAZINE; MYSTERY, CRIME & MAYHEM; and THRILL RIDE MAGAZINE. She's even written official STAR TREK fiction and admits that she's an unabashed MCU fangirl. She currently writes and edits fulltime.

Unexpected Aliens by Annie Reed

Little green men from Alpha Centauri?

Not always. And not what you'll get in this collection by award-winning writer Annie Reed.

Annie puts her unique twist on these six stories of unexpected alien encounters. Meet a grandfather protecting his granddaughter from the future he knows is coming, and an ambitious reporter who finds more than he bargained for at the edge of known space. Attend a pop culture convention with truly out-of-this-world guests and get to know a retiring time travel pioneer who discovers the deadly purpose behind his life's work.

These stories and more fill the pages of Unexpected Aliens.

Come along for a trip to the future you never imagined.
