Prepare for take off! This short story anthology will contain science fiction, dark content, and lots of whumperflies. Authors will be answering the question, "What if there was whump ... but in space?"
This anthology collects over two dozen whumpy stories that take place beyond Earth. From hostile planets to the terror of outer space, prepare yourself for some dark science fiction.
50% of any profit raised in excess of our goal will be donated to Dollar For.
All WPP books will be available as add-ons in both ebook and paperback!
If you back the campaign at any level (including the $1 Astronomer level), you'll then be able to add any WPP books to your pledge. That's over two dozen different books for you to choose from!
Anthologies: Hurt and Comfort Once Upon a Blade The Whumpboratory High Stakes and Bloody Business Cosmic Consequences
Novelettes: Skin Deep
Novellas: Bloodbag Lux in Tenebris: Poena et Salus Hunting Static The Windows to a Shapeshifter's Soul Never, Never Creatures From the Caldera Deepest Canyon: A Starslinger Tale Showstopper The Kill Touch Chipped Silence Bonnie and Guy The Dark Side of the Sun
Pleading His Belly on Zakon-4 Rattler's Moon
Novels: Cry of Fangs Magnanimous Moonrise and Savage Sunset Shadow By My Fireplace
We are currently in the process of copy editing the anthology. Our tentative goal is to have the book completely edited and formatted by the end of the campaign.
The biggest risk is that the project fails to meet its funding goal. If this happens, Cosmic Consequences will still be published in ebook and paperback, however, no bookmarks will be produced.
The other major risk is production and shipping delays. We will be working with several vendors, and depending on their schedules production could take longer than anticipated. We will do our best to communicate any delays. As with any project involving shipping packages there is the small possibility of packages being delayed, damaged, falling into the ocean, etc. The postal system is a fickle beast. If your package is lost in the postal system, we are unable to offer a refund.
Shipping will be charged after the campaign ends to ensure that you get the best price possible. Tentatively, shipping within the USA will be $6-9 (via USPS media mail) and shipping internationally (for one book) will be $20-$30.

What is The Book Bazaar?
During this event, authors/indie presses run their own crowdfunding campaigns, with hopes of funding their publishing project. All campaigns run at the same time, and each campaign cross-promotes one another. Each campaign runs on an all-or-nothing basis, which means if they don’t meet their minimum goal, they can’t create their projects. 🙁 That’s why we’re hoping to count on you, the lovely reader, to help uplift these publishers and really make this Bazaar something special!
The more projects you back, the more rewards you’ll get. Some Bazaar projects are paired with another project, and by backing both Bazaar projects, you’ll get EXTRA free rewards! Back all Bazaar projects to maximize your rewards!
