About the Book

An anthology revealing the Human Need for Connection. 13 short stories of love and loss, of realization and growth.

"A uniformly powerful collection where each piece shines." - D. Donovan, senior reviewer Midwest Book Review

A deliciously tempting and intriguing mix of short stories featuirng 11 award-winning and up-and-coming authors. 13 by 11 blends literary, historical, speculative, mystery, and romantic fiction with a dash of light sci-fi thrown in...all centering on our human need for connection to others-in life, in death, in families, in school, in space, in cyberspace.

Stories by Vincent Czyz and Derek McFadden ask us to consider the ties that bind and define us in our earthly existence, with tragic, yet hopeful, tales of loss and love.

Journey with characters at different stages of life: childhood, early adulthood, and parenthood. Jeffrey Kahrs's charming vignette journeys back to a childhood incident and its effects-both immediate and lasting-on family dynamics, while Caroline Scott introduces us to two teens embarking on adulthood while coping with the pressure of their pasts. Erol Engin warns us how the first child-and Steve Jobs-can change a marriage, leading to competition and "vicarious" coping.

Be careful what you wish for... Enticing temptation meets delicious pleasure-but at what cost? Your life? Your soul? Bradley Harper's dark, tantalizing poems (the bases of his multi-award-winning short film) wrap around Lilla Glass's unfurling tale of hunter and prey... and hunter, before Harper spins a whodunit, with a dash of whimsy and perhaps time travel, if the detective's client is to be believed.

Discover, too, "other spaces" Harriet James shows us the futility of resisting the spark of attraction in a charged love-across-the-divides spec-fiction story. Carla Rehse whisks us off to outer space, where we find two partners, divided in a way we could never imagine, fleeing from those determined to part them. Will Knight's dialogue-driven diary tale looks for smiles as it touches on hope vs. reality, even as we wonder what the space of that reality is.

The anthology concludes by considering loss. Bradley Harper's true-life short passage witnesses loss of life, while Greg Gerke describes a gradual loss of self, finding that travel does not necessarily enrich the soul.

"13 By 11 is a collection strong in literary and speculative devices, an eclectic, genre-busting gathering that will appeal to a wide audience...Readers seeking a literary anthology filled with satisfying revelations and unexpected forays into other worlds will find 13 By 11 a uniformly powerful collection where each piece shines...Start anyplace in the book to choose a standout piece."
- D. Donovan, senior reviewer Midwest Book Review
