An anthology of queer-themed science fiction (edited by Christopher Fletcher), including Merc's story, "Queen for a Day."
Order from M-BRANE or Amazon.
A. Merc Rustad
- Merc
- She who goes by the nick "Merc" is a twenty-something author with a wacky sense of humor. One day she might have a social life in the Real World, but she waits for the time when her maniacal presence doesn't send people running and screaming for the hills. (Not that she doesn't enjoy seeing them flee, but it does make potential acquaintances difficult to acquire.)
