Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Writers of Spokane release ‘A Roll of the Dice II’

One look at the title “A Roll of the Dice” and readers will have a good idea of how the anthology, the second from the Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Writers of Spokane, came together.

Six local authors rolled a set of story dice and used the elements on the dice – a clock, the world, flames and a turtle – as inspiration for a short story, interpreting the elements as broadly or as literally as they wanted.

The resulting anthology is now available to read, and the following authors will sign copies of “A Roll of the Dice II” at Auntie’s Bookstore on Saturday.

Brett Bunge is a freelance writer and film critic whose “Sword of Shadows” appeared in the first Roll of the Dice anthology. He has also written for the Mighty and the Portalist and earned a B.A. in English from the University of California, Davis.
