CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE URBAN KIND
ISBN: 0982159692/978-0982159699
Apex Publications, 2010
Available as E-Book
We've all heard the stories of what happens to those who go to lovers' lane and of the folly of flashing your lights at another car at night. We all know someone who knows someone that survived a meeting with Bloody Mary and another who picked up a hitchhiker that then disappeared. And we all know these stories aren't true. They're just urban legends. Right? Wrong. Sometimes the stories we hear are true. Often they're more than they seem. These are the urban legends with alien explanations and the alien encounters mistaken for urban legends. The line between one and the other is so blurred in this anthology of stories about Close Encounters of the Urban Kind that you will never look another urban legend the same way again. Featuring stories by Alma Alexander, Nathan Crowder, Carole Johnstone, Pete Kempshall, Jennifer Pelland, Erik Scott de Bie, Bev Vincent, and many others.

Two short years have passed since Princess Ki'leah Alrhiane Del'Sivahr solved the ancient riddle that prevented Lyarra Val'rahimir from gaining a dangerous foothold on Si'vad - hardly enough time to prepare for the responsibilities of ruling a kingdom. Nevertheless, with her mother ailing from the same illness that felled her father, Ki'leah must assume her birthright as Queen of Si'vad. Adjusting to her new role amidst a whirlwind of court politics, scheming nobles and marriage proposals is difficult enough, but soon Ki'leah must also contend with a series of unforeseen events and tragedies that test the limits of her endurance. Through it all, Ki'leah must question whom to trust, as circumstances lead her to doubt the loyalty of those closest to her. When evidence reaches her of an ancient threat gathering on her southern border, Ki'leah is forced to make a difficult and dangerous choice: one that could irrevocably alter the futures of everything - and everyone - she holds dear.
