1963: Emran Greene is a successful corporate accountant, a hopeful soon-to-be-father, and an unremarkable husband--except for the lingering effects of an experimental wartime truth serum, his ex-boyfriend, the impossibility of his conceiving a child, and all of the other secrets he keeps from his wife and his employer.

About the Author

Lisa Shapter attended Earlham College in Indiana and the Bread Loaf Young Writers' Conference (now the New England Young Writers' Conference) in Vermont. She has worked for Wesleyan University Press and the Johns Hopkins University Press and a succession of small libraries. Her interrelated work explores themes of identity, orientation, and gender.



Inspired by Robertson Davies, she writes composite stories from the perspectives of multiple narrators, each with their own truths, half-truths, and shortfalls. Although each of her novellas and short stories stands on its own, each is part of a larger story told across several pieces that develops facets and shadows under different narrators' perspectives. Her LBGT-friendly feminist military SF has appeared in Black Denim Lit, Expanded Horizons, Four Star Stories, Kaleidotrope, and in the M-Brane SF anthology Things We Are Not.
