Bardic Tales and Sage Advice (Volume X)

Though originally meant as a stand-alone anthology, the Bardic Tales and Sage Advice collection has evolved into an annual celebration of speculative fiction. Our tenth installment in the annual anthology features not only the winners from our annual writing competition and Reader's Choice Awards, but also selected stories from previous installments as we look back on where we have been.On behalf of all of the authors that have published with us over the years, we thank all of our readers who have supported our publications. This anthology would not exist without the support and feedback of our readers.
