(Left) The cover of Stone Prophet, by Owen Tyme.

At the center is a hexagonal coin with a golden appearance,. That bears a watercolor painting of a woman's face, which drips paint as if it were fresh.

Following the edges of the coin, the background is divided by a spiral of black lines into six images representing vital pieces of the titular stone prophet.

Upper right is an attractive woman with blue eyes and blond hair that's almost white. She stands in place of Memory.

Right is an eye with a blue iris surrounded by blue skin and golden decorations, representing Vision.

Lower right is a hooded woman in darkness, partially illuminated by a purple triangle that magically restrains her. She is Skill.

Lower left is a heart made of and resting in blue sand, with yellow light inside. That shines through cracks, hinting at fragility. This is Emotion.

Left is a gray sphere covered in black zeros and ones. More zeros and ones lay over the top, in blurred white. This is Reason.

Upper Left is a brass statue of justice, wearing a robe and blindfold. She holds a sword and scales. Behind her are the stars of space. This is Heart.

(Right) The same attractive woman from the upper right section of the cover, looking right at the viewer. The following quote frames her face, above and below:

“Does the Leader make the hard choices, or do the hard choices make the Leader?”

“Will she do what must be done, for the good of all?”

Sample page from Princess of Kurg.

The cover of Princess of Kurg, by Owen Tyme.

The background is a spiral galaxy with a pink color, which has been divided into hexagonal jigsaw puzzle pieces.

Near the top is an attractive woman's face framed by light blond hair that's almost colorless. She has blue eyes and looks directly ahead. Around the edges of her face, she fades away, allowing the background to be seen to either side of her head.

Below her is a group of seven hexagonal brassy coins arranged in a circular fashion, each showing a different scene at the center.

The central coin shows blood spatter on a black background. The top one has a red-haired fairy with insect wings, in a dress that looked like an upturned red flower. She stands in a forest with glowing points of light along the forest floor. Upper right shows the eye of a pink-scaled dragon. Lower right shows a monkey in a tree, eating a banana. The bottom shows a white swan floating in water, beside a reflection of the moon. Lower left is a smiling snail with little red hearts near its head. Upper left displays an alien saucer ship beaming someone into it, presumably an abduction in progress.

<p>It's release day for Trans/Port, a gorgeous anthology of trans speculative fiction featuring "Conversion", my cyberpunk take on the old "what if you could take a pill to make you not queer" thought experiment (it's also got cyborg terrorists!) It's still on launch discount for $1.99 until the 8th, so get it while it's hot!</p><p><a href="https://draft2digital.com/book/4305329" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>draft2digital.com/book/4305329</a></p><p><a href="/tags/sciencefiction/" rel="tag">#ScienceFiction</a> <a href="/tags/scifi/" rel="tag">#SciFi</a> <a href="/tags/trans/" rel="tag">#Trans</a> <a href="/tags/cyberpunk/" rel="tag">#Cyberpunk</a></p>

(Left) The cover of The Next Horizon, by Owen Tyme.

The black silhouette of a man and woman embracing. They stand atop the dark side of a planet or moon in space, which has a slim crescent along the right side. The background is the stars of space, but some have been highlighted with a heart shape that surrounds the couple. Everything is in shades of blue.

(Right) Deep space, displaying the edge of an orange and blue gaseous cloud from a nebula, while most of the stars appear golden in color. Floating in space is a square, red leather book with the image of a newt stamped on the cover. Over the top of everything is the following text:

“You can back down and cooperate, right now, or Marta will hit you so hard, you should reach a tenth the speed of light…”

“No one will ever find you again, but even if someone does, there’s no way they’ll have the capacity to safely slow you down, before you’re gone to them!”
