2018 was a very good year for WDM Publishing. We published several collections and relaunched a novel as well as releasing the short fiction included in this volume. When they weren't working on future novels, our authors wrote short fantasy and science fiction tales, and even one spy academy story. This volume opens with a sci-fi portal story, moves into the realms of fantasy, and then explores an exclusive academy that caters to spies. We end the volume with a Deb Logan middle grade science fiction story, followed by a moving space opera tale by Debbie Mumford. We hope you enjoy the short fiction of 2018.
