About this ebook

When Alice woke up after a quantum event, she found the world--and herself--changed in bizarre and incomprehensible ways. Even in the face of buildings transformed into mushroom forests and backyard ponds filled with vanilla pudding, she and her fellow neighborhood survivors are looking out for each other. Then one day a group of survivors from the other side of the city arrives, offering a vision for the future Alice and her friends don't need or want.

 

As echoes of her past life ripple around her, Alice has discovered a secret, burgeoning ability--but can she harness it to help her friends stand against the interlopers?

Sherry D. Ramsey

Sherry D. Ramsey is a speculative fiction writer, editor, publisher, creativity addict and self-confessed internet geek. When she's not writing, she makes jewelry, gardens, hones her creative procrastination skills on social media, and consumes far more coffee and chocolate than is likely good for her. Her debut novel, One's Aspect to the Sun, was published by Tyche Books in late 2013 and was awarded the Book Publishers of Alberta "Book of the Year" Award for Speculative Fiction. The sequel, Dark Beneath the Moon, is due out from Tyche in 2015. Her other books include To Unimagined Shores—Collected Stories. With her partners at Third Person Press (http://www.thirdpersonpress.com), she has co-edited five anthologies of regional short fiction to date. Her short fiction and poetry have appeared in numerous publications and anthologies in North America and beyond. Every November she disappears into the strange realm of National Novel Writing Month and emerges gasping at the end, clutching something resembling a novel. A member of the Writer's Federation of Nova Scotia Writer's Council, Sherry is also a past Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer of SF Canada, Canada's national association for Speculative Fiction Professionals. You can visit Sherry online www.sherrydramsey.com, find her on Facebook, and follow her on Twitter @sdramsey.

She snapped the book, 30-second Quantum Theory, closed, and slid it back onto a bookshelf next to the front door. That should do for today, she muttered. Keeping the universe stable—weird as it had become—was now a daily task, and Alice worried she might soon run out of effective quotations. She feared re-using the same ones too often might not be enough to keep the quantum weirdness at bay.

The dog had appeared, asleep in her bedroom, when she woke the morning after the reality-warping event people had come to call the Twist.
