    An alternate history anthology was put together (in a very short time) to benefit Ukraine. Sales from this project go towards a good cause and the editor David Flin, a couple of authors Alex Wallace and Mathew Kresal and Lena who helped in the organizational aspects, join me to discuss this project. Here are their brief bios and also please note this link to purchase this anthology. Your purchase goes towards a fabulous cause and you get a great alternate history book to read so win-win. David Flin: Officially described by Mills & Boon as "unrealistic". After a lifetime of gathering stories the hard way, he's turned his attention to story telling. It's safer. He's the owner of Sergeant Frosty Publications, which produces books for children and young adults. Lena Worwood: Lena writes about British politics and horror with Sealion Press and can occasionally tell the two apart. She tweets at @sidewaysing Matthew Kresal is an author, critic, and podcaster with many & varying interests. He is the winner of a 2020 Sidewise Award for his short story Moonshot. He tweets @KresalWrites Alexander Wallace is a nerd on the internet best known for running Alternate History Online, the largest alternate history group on Facebook. He also helps run the Alternate Timelines forum and posts regularly on alternate history sites under the name SpanishSpy. When not being an alternate historian he is interested in various forms of science fiction, particularly late 19th-early 20th century science fiction (with a soft spot for H. G. Wells). He is a member of the Washington Science Fiction Society and has written articles for their Journal. Join Libro.FM and use code LLTBPODCAST to get 2 audiobooks for the price of one.
