Nancy S.M. Waldman writes speculative and mainstream fiction and is one of the three founders of Third Person Press. Her speculative stories can be found in Third Person’s first two books, Undercurrents (2008) and Airborne (2010). Her mainstream publications include The Nashwaak Review (2010) and The Men’s Breakfast (Breton Books, 2011). Nancy lives with her husband, Barry, in a brightly painted, 112 year-old house in Cape Breton. She loves to cook, make art, shoot photos, and garden, even if the soil isn't magical. Her writing website is at nancysmwaldman.com.
We hope you’ve enjoyed this small sampling of stories from our anthologies. There are many more to be found in the pages (and virtual pages!) of Undercurrents, Airborne, and Unearthed. Visit our website or any of the retailers listed below to find our books.
Undercurrents
The Speculative Elements, v. 1
The landscape of Cape Breton writing doesn’t necessarily begin at the Canso Causeway and end at the Cabot Strait. The fourteen stories in Undercurrents ply the literary oceans of time and space, possibility and imagination.
Inside are stories that ripple and swell with the unusual: fiddle-playing ghosts, malevolent cats, urbane vampires, and ordinary folks who have drifted into realms of the extraordinary.

Airborne
The Speculative Elements, v. 2
Stories and poems that breathe unexpected possibilities into the atmosphere that surrounds and fills us. Take flight with these tales and explore what is always elusive: microscopic particles, airwaves, wind, space, sound, and spirit.
These talented writers—all with a connection to Cape Breton Island—share stories of timeless love, enchanted flight, punkish cybercrime, unexpected gifts of healing, journeys beyond imagining, past lives on Scottish Isles, the knock at the door you never want to answer, and much more.

Unearthed
The Speculative Elements, v.3
Earth--the ground of our being, the dust from which we come, and to which we will return. Imagine what might arise from and disappear into the soil...what grows, what is buried, what teems unseen.
This collection, exploring the ends of the Earth and beyond, offers tales from the depths of darkness: zombies, vampires, murky unknowable worlds, underground prisons, malevolent spirits--to the lightest heights: earthen magic, little people, buried treasure and fantastical creatures! Dig in. These twenty-one stories will thrill, scare, surprise and delight.

To Unimagined Shores
Collected Stories by Sherry D. Ramsey
What sorts of things wash up on unimagined shores? Hitch-hiking aliens. Kidnapped embryos. Victorian time-machines. Spaceport detectives. Itinerant scribes. Otherworldly companions.
The discerning beachcomber will discover even more curiosities on the pages within: physicists and journalists, wizards and apprentices, angels and devils, telepaths and aliens. The seventeen stories in this collection are by turns funny, tragic, light-hearted and serious, but all share this in common: they will carry you to distant shores of imagination, and, once there, show you things you hadn’t known before.
“Sherry D. Ramsey’s short stories are filled with vibrant characters, good writing, and thrum with humanity, even when there aren’t many actual humans in the story. Fans of speculative fiction should definitely check out To Unimagined Shores.”
~ Mark A. Rayner, author of The Amadeus Net and Marvellous Hairy.
