Wolfsinger Publications: “Voices for the Voiceless” – ANTHOLOGIES!

I have a new story in the latest anthology from Wolfsinger Publications, Voices for the Voiceless. Edited by Carol Hightshoe, this is an interesting book which begs to ask “what if” nobody could defend or speak up for a child in certain circumstances, situations, and enviroments. Would you step up to the plate? But the book examines this theme through a speculative fiction lens. As a former at-home father, who writes a lot of children’s horror soaked in emotion and family dynamics this theme resonated with me. It’ll probably be available at some of the smaller cons, too. My tale is near-future science fiction. It’s about a Gen Alpha mother who can’t get pregnant, and a lot of mothers just like her depend on these elaborate pharmacies and testing facilities to see if they conceived for a particular week. After all, there are no guarantees in freezing your eggs. This mother goes on to do something different—and which humans may actually do at some point—and adopt an AI child. What if women who couldn’t have children, or never got the chance to, resorted to parenting artificial intelligence? Would they stand up for that child? Would they treat it differently from human children? Would they love it equally? I’ll leave the author lineup and links to purchase below. Read my story: “Artificial Parenthood.”
