To date, Brenda Cooper has over eighty short stories out, two collections, and thirteen novels. Other than an annual and very fun foray into Mercedes Lackey’s Valdemar, most of my short work is science fiction. Lastly, a lot of my short fiction comes from anthology invites, so there’s a bit of a prompt to start the work. I’ve done more short work than long the last few years, but that’s mostly about time. Poetry was my first writing love.
