Love and Justice

Suze loves her music. She hides in it when her parents fight. But when the fights end in divorce, the divorce brings an end to the music-obtained illegally by Suze's mother. Now Nils, Suze's father, must quickly find a way to save his daughter's music-and her sanity-without breaking the law."Rusch creates a near-future which is horrifying in its plausibility, especially the no-supermen element, and the characters are so immediate; I finished this with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat, and I suspect it would hit parents even harder. This is really powerful, and really strong."-Libris Leonis"A heartwarming and heartbreaking story of the prices a child and their parents make when radical technology is thrust upon a young girl."-Functional Nerds

Watching the Music Dance

Legend has it that Abraham Lincoln scrawled the Gettysburg Address on the back of an envelope as he traveled to the battlefield to dedicate a cemetery. But the legend belies Lincoln's struggle to carefully choose the right words. Words that must soothe a fractured nation, inspire change and chart the course for the nation's future. Because his speech in Gettysburg will change history, but not necessarily in the way he hopes. Written by a Sidewise Award winner for Best Alternate History, "Well-Chosen Words" first appeared in an anthology called Alternate Gettysburgs. "Kristine Kathryn Rusch looks at the anxiety Lincoln had in selecting the 'Well-Chosen Words' he would speak at the dedication of the cemetery at Gettysburg, while his host, David Wills, fretted about the success of the event itself. The story is well written, with both characters coming to life."-Steven H. Silver, SF Site

Well-Chosen Words

In this WMG Writer's Guide, international bestselling author Kristine Kathryn Rusch discusses the destructive ways peer workshops and the quest for perfection derail many writers' careers. Listening to critics and academics-amateur and professional-often strips out the joy of writing. And a failure to recognize writing as a business furthers the potential damage. But Rusch offers hope for writers who have suffered at the hands of critique-external and internal-and outlines a path to healing.

Bram understands the importance of stories. After all, he convinced Stoker to write Dracula to frighten the world. One of the original vampire hunters, Bram has seen vampires in action. But he grows weary of the job. He needs a replacement. Only the world of the 21st century doesn't lend itself to heroes-not of the kind he needs anyway. Until he realizes that perhaps he should look for a heroine instead. Like early Ray Bradbury, Rusch has the ability to switch on a universal dark.-the Times of London[Rusch's horror stories are] horror in the same way that Robert Bloch's Psycho is-horror of the soul.-Locus

Hero Dust

L'Homme qui enseigne la guerre aux enfants est assis dans ma salle d'attente. Il est mince, frêle ; ses cheveux ont prématurément blanchi. Il s'est recroquevillé comme le ferait un enfant, les bras croisés sur son ventre dans une parodie d'étreinte.
[...]
Un enfant est censé passer deux ans à étudier la guerre. Les gamins vont voir des batailles célèbres et en découvrent ensuite les conséquences. Ils utilisent pour cela des cabines spéciales auxquelles n'ont pas accès le commun des voyageurs dans le temps - les enfants doivent pouvoir sentir la crasse, toucher le sang, percevoir l'odeur de pourriture.
De cette manière, et uniquement de cette manière, nous empêchons notre peuple de partir en guerre.

Turns out the story holds more truth than legend-just not in the way you'd expect."Kristine Kathryn Rusch's crime stories are exceptional, both in plot and in style."-Mystery Scene Magazine
