Vlad Dracula and Mehmed II buddy cop against the supernatural? What the devil has broken history? Check out the #althistory #shortstory “A Brother’s Oath” which is one of the 3 amazing short stories nominated for the Sidewise Award! Now Available from Laughing Briar Books.
For those headed to Seattle Worldcon this year, I highly recommend checking out the Alt-History award Sidewise Award ceremony. This year’s winners will be announced at Seattle Worldcon 2025 on Friday, August 15 following the panel “Alternate Histories of the Space Program” at 6:00 in room 320.
I won’t be able to make it, but the amazing and talented Nikhil Prabala author of The Dutchess of Kokora will be there to represent my nomination for the Sidewise Award. If you haven’t checked out his work, I can’t recommend him enough!
Budding author, Laughing Briar, is a science fiction and fantasy writer, traveler, and lover of the written word just like any other flower pen out there.
Feeding on the madness of a woman’s mind, they’ve planted roots in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Nourished by an engineering education from The Ohio State University, a blended family upbringing, and an insatiable wanderlust, Briar draws deeply from these wells to inspire their stories.
In their free time, Briar enjoys tumbling down mountain trails, seeding songs in karaoke, and rooting for their D&D party to survive the darkest of dungeons. Today, they are the author of exactly forty-two short stories and are planning to release their debut novel, ‘Gambling on Common Sense,’ by 2024.
For those new to them, time is a cycle, and it’s great to see you again.
