Twenty short stories that revisit a historical event and rewrite how it could have been different if one small thing had changed.

History may be written by the victors, but it is not always written in stone.
It comes down to a bit of luck.

What if the histories of Billy the Kid, Vlad Dracula, and Jack the Ripper had a new twist, an alternate history? What if the fictional world of The Great Gatsby had a hidden tale?

The stories that connect the past to the present can lead us into a world we never imagined.

Get a glimpse of history in a new light.

A Bit of Luck: Alternate Histories in Honor of Eric Flint.

Available in audiobook format here! Narrated by Brenda McGinnis.

"This anthology is a must for lovers of fast-paced short stories with a historical and fantastical bent."—Booklist
