Today I have posted one the 15 stories in my latest collection published on Amazon by Doppler Press.
I think that only 2 or 3 of those stories have appeared on free sites, so most of the stories will be new to readers.
The publishers blurb reads:
Science fiction is all about what if.
What if you found an alien intelligence living in a pond at the far end of your cow pasture? What if you both fell in love?
What if you got taken in by a conman who claimed to be recruiting volunteers to repopulate a distant world? What if he wasn’t a conman?
What if you got trapped in an imaginary world with a friend where you could be anything you—or your friend—wanted you to be? What if he wanted you to be his lover?
What if your neighbors—no joke—turned out not to be from France? What if they knew and understood science that no one else on Earth knew?
What if your android lover wanted to be the man in your relationship?
The fertile mind of Maryanne Peters has written another collection of gender-bending short science fiction tales about visiting alien spacecraft, dystopian futures and strange households with stranger romance.

Aleph
Something in part of the title of your anthology triggered something in my mind. After digging around I found that the word appears in Hebrew, Arabic and something else. I can't remember right now. I'm occupied with reading some Anne McCaffery right now. I hope to get to it when I am finished, or tire of it. She is quite linguistically advanced for me...

To be honest, I don't know where that came from. The publisher perhaps inserted the name of the spacecraft they are in on the cover page? Anyway, aleph is the first letter of the Arabic alphabet, and that word comes from the first 2 letters of the Greek one (alpha, beta) - the Arabic one starts the same way - aleph, bey. Does this resolve your question? Now what about the book!?

I was very involved in Islam and Abrahamic culture studies for a decade. It was a time when my hopes were high but the experience was disappointing for an American. A similar thing happened with the Brits who wanted nothing to do with me.
