Romance stories? Check! Traditional romance tropes? Umm... You can't keep Dean Wesley Smith or Kristine Kathryn Rusch tied to traditional genre norms. Even when writing romance stories. Which they delightfully are! From western to humor, vampires to science fiction, (with even a dab of literary mainstream) ...no matter which, these stories all have romance at their center. You get three authors this time, including Kristine Kathryn Rusch's fantasy romance pen name Kristine Grayson. Featured stories include Dean Wesley Smith's highly acclaimed "In The Shade of the Slowboat Man," and Kristine Kathryn Rusch's award-nominated "Millennium Babies."
